As Michael already told you in his most recent post, we're coming up on the end of our journey. We've got less than $800 to reach our goal and we are so grateful for all the support we have received so far. As a patient, this means a lot to me--each dollar is a step towards a brighter future for me and all the other patients. I don't want to end up like my dad and you--yes YOU--are helping to make that wish a reality. Thank you all. Seriously. You are all heroes to me.
Another hero who deserves recognition is my husband. See, he doesn't really like running, but does it because *I* like to run. So I'm the one who got us signed up for Napa, and then I'm the one who got hurt and had to drop out. Not once has he complained about running without me. Instead, he gets up early and goes out to get his miles in while I'm spending quality time with my pillow. His training seems to be going really well and I think he's going to crack 2:00 again, which will be the first time in years that either one of us has run that good of time. So please, give him a giant round of applause for all his hard work. I'm so blessed to have such a great guy in my corner who is dedicated to finding a cure for IBD.
[And just in case this has you in the giving mood--don't forget, the wine basket raffle is still going on so you can buy tickets today! And if you are in Kansas City, join us on June 30 for trivia at Lew's. Further details were in Michael's previous post or email me with any questions.]
