Crohn's "Take Steps" walk
***EDIT***
This thread was from last year - but it is the same walk.
(I don't need help with the email anymore, obviously..)
This year's post starts at #43.
GO 2010 FUNDRAISERS!
I am walking in my local CCFA fundraiser, but I need help with my email.
I'll be sending this to friends/family and coworkers, but it sounds kinda dorky.
I do want it to sound serious, but not overly grim. I don't want people to think "Oh, it's just a little bellyache."
Any tips??
Friends and Family,
On June 13th, my family I will be walking in the Crohn’s Colitis Foundation of America’s (CFFA) “Take Steps” fundraiser. I have Crohn’s disease and there is no cure.
I have been on Sulfasalazine, Asacol, Prednisone, Humira, Metronidazole, Ciprofloxacin, Librax, Cortifoam, and Mesalamine suspension. These meds have either stopped working or are not for long term use.
People with Crohn’s disease have varying symptoms ranging from debilitating intestinal pain, diarrhea, fistulas, malnutrition, bleeding, exhaustion, vomiting, and much more. Symptoms are different for each Crohn’s patient, which is why it is so hard to diagnose and even harder to treat. Crohn’s patients often need multiple surgeries and hospital stays.
I am close to remission right now and taking Remicade, Imuran and Pentasa. If Remicade fails me, I only have a few choices left that may or may not work. I am hoping that research will find new medications/therapies by the time Remicade stops working for me. But the most important reason for me to see advances in Crohn’s research is for my children because Crohn’s disease can be genetic.
If you would like to sponsor me, the link is____________ or I can take cash donations to the event.
Thanks,
MBH
I also need a team name. I have been trying to think of one for 2 weeks, and I haven't even registered yet cuz I still don't have a team name. My goal is to sign up by tonight, or I will never do it.
So far I have-
Team (last name)
Team Toliet Lovers
Party in the Potty
Any votes or other suggestions?
