On Saturday, May 14th, my parents and my friend, Tara, joined me in the TAKE STEPS, BE HEARD walk for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis! I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease 11 years ago and although I'm in remission (thanks to a drug called Remicade), a cure still needs to be found! I registered for the walk in early May and with the help of family and friends, we raised over $500 for research--in just over 1 week! Amazing! Thanks for everyone who donated!
Side note: Chuck was suppose to walk with us but he got sent to North Dakota for work during the week of the walk. He felt really bad, but I told him it was fine--next year he'll just have to help raise 2x as much in donations to make up for it! :-) I love him and all the support and encouragement he has given to me during our engagement period and our 8 years of marriage!
