I hope you will decide to donate. It is for a great cause that affects millions of American citizens.

Very excited about my progress with fundraising before the start of the walkathon. So far I've raised $335, reaching 9 donors. I have an additional 2 donors who have committed to donate. And I'm personally working with about 7 other donors to secure their donations.

My goals are to walk 80 miles, reach 100 donors, and raise $5000. The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation helps provide funds for research, awareness, and activities. They support 1.6 million Americans who have been diagnosed with Crohn's or Colitis, and an additional 1.4 million Americans who have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease.

Update: DAY 1

Went walking at 6:30 this morning to beat the heat. 72 degrees when I started. My teammate was still sleeping when I left, so I went solo today. I walked 6.86 miles, nearing 10% of my 80 mile goal.

I'm up to 14 donors reached, and $596 raised. I'm very excited. There are still 2 donors committed to donating, and roughly a half dozen I'm working with to secure donations before August 22.
