Raising Awareness for IBD

Again I come to my fellow Chosen Stock readers & writers for the awareness of Crohn’s & Colitis. The CCFC (Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of Canada) is hosting it’s annual Heel n’ Wheel Athon this weekend across the country, and just like every year since 2001, I will be participating. Crohn’s & Colitis affects over 500,000 americans, that’s on in every 544 people. IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) is most commonly diagnosed during the ages of 14-21, but can affect any age group and any race just the same. The cause is unknown, and a cure non-existent. For anyone who knows of or is a person that suffers from these horrible diseases, you know how important fundraising is, the CCFC only has a few fundraisers each year. If you would like to donate to the cause you can either sponsor me here, or donate directly to the CCFC. If you are living in the US and would prefer to donate there, you can do that here.
