Well, ok, that was perhaps a little "over the top" for introducing a fund raiser for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, but hey, at least it's factual.
I've never been very good at fund-raising - I just hate to ask anyone for their money - but this one hit close to "home." I have Crohn's, and a co-worker of mine does also. She mentioned a week ago that there was a 5k fun WALK through Edwin Warner Park in Sept, and would I like to join her team. "SURE", I think, "5k can't kill me." And that's true. Even my darling-est daughter agrees, as she's decided to join me. My wife and son, as I predicted, have decided to participate as avid cheerleaders from the air conditioned comfort of home :-)
It'll be fun, and it'll be the first involvement I've had with the CCFA. I've known of them for a long time, but haven't been officially a member in over 12 years.
So, if it floats your boat, feel free to contribute to the cause. I'll also mention how much I love my sister - the first contributor :-)
