I was diagnosed two months ago with
ulcerative colitis, after nine months of
the most horrible experience ever. I
didn't realize just how close I came to
ending up in the hospital. I'm just
horribly grateful that I got diagnosed and
that unending searing agony of hot coals
stuffed up my colon has finally come to an
end! My coworkers are also pleased I no
longer have to go tearing off down the
hall every 40 minutes.
But we need a cure, not nine gigantic
choke-inducing pills a day for the rest of
our lives!!!!!
And so....I am participating in the
crohn's and colitis foundation of america
3k guts & glory walk taking place in
mountain view on sept. 9th. I'd like to
ask for your support in helping to raise
greatly needed funds to improve research
and educational programs for the more than
1.4 million children and adults suffering
from crohn's disease and ulcerative
colitis.
The crohn's & colitis foundation of
america's (ccfa) mission is to cure and
prevent crohn's disease and ulcerative
colitis through research, and to improve
the quality of life of children and adults
affected by these digestive diseases
through education and support.
Many many thanks, from the depths of my
guts!
