Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are both major categories of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). IBD affects an estimated 1.6 million Americans. These chronic diseases tend to run in families and they affect males and females equally.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract and may affect any part from the mouth to the anus. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition limited to the colon, otherwise known as the large intestine.
The Mission of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation 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.
For this cause, I am running the Chicago Marathon this year! I reached out to some of the best races in the country and they have so generously donated bibs to their races that will go up for auction!
Here is how it will work:
1) Each race will have a post indicating the start and end time of the auction.
2) To bid, post your bid in the comments of the race you want to bid on. ONCE YOU POST, YOU ARE COMMITTING TO YOUR BID. YOU CANNOT BACK OUT OF YOUR BID ONCE YOU POST! You will only have to donate if you have the winning bid though.
3) All auctions will end at 2:00PM MST.
3) All auctions will end at 2:00PM MST.
4) I will contact the winners with registration info within a couple days of the auction closing.
GOOD LUCK!!
RACE DIRECTORS! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE A BIB TO THIS WORTHY CAUSE, PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE! ♥
You can join the auction HERE! Bidding starts as low as $20!
