Take Steps, Be Heard

If you read my blog, you probably already know I'm currently fundraising for the Take Steps, Be Heard for Crohn's and Colitis.  This is my second year participating in the event that will take place on October 13.  The money raised goes to patient programs and medical research to find a cure.  

Why is this such a big deal to me?  I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in August 2006.  After six years of taking daily medications, testing, doctors appointments, and an emergency room visit, I want a cure. I am so tired of being sick and not being able to eat like a "normal" person.   But as hard as living with Crohn's can be, I am grateful for the blessings it has brought to my life.  It has brought me closer to my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ, and for that, I can't complain.  I know that They are aware of me and will help me get through all the trials associated with this disease.  I am also blessed with the support of a wonderful husband, family, and friends that encourage me to fight the pain. 

This year, I wanted to have some fun while raising money, so I am hosting a Grace Adele "FUN"raiser Party next week.  Grace Adele is part of Scentsy's new line of jewelry and purses.  If you live too far away to come, but would like to order something you can go here to browse.  Or if you want to come, just leave me a comment and I'll get you the details.  A portion of all the party sales will be donated in my name for the walk. 

If jewelry and purses aren't your cup of tea, but you still want to support me, go to my Take Steps page to donate.  

If you don't want to/can't do any of the above, that's cool too.  I appreciate all your love and support! Please click on older posts at the bottom to see all the fun we had last year.

Thank you!
