This is not something I normally do on my blog, but the time has come to ask for your help.

As you know I have ulcerative colitis. I’m trying to do my part to raise awareness of this disease and of Crohn’s disease.

On June 13, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada will be holding its annual fundraiser: the Heel ‘N’ Wheel-A-Thon. This event is held across Canada – very likely in your community.

I’ll be out at the Ottawa event participating. To this end, I’m also collecting pledges for this event. I’ve created an online pledge page.

My fundraising goal is $500. Anything that you can donate is greatly appreciated. Myself and all Canadians living with Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis thank you for your support.

To learn more about the Heel ‘N’ Wheel-A-Thon, be sure to visit the website.

Thanks again for your support. It really does mean a lot to me.
