Allison, Brianne, and I are riding a century (that's 100 miles in one bicycle ride) on June 8th to raise money to fight Chron's disease.
Short story: we like riding bikes, and Chron's sucks, so really we're hitting two birds with one stone.
Long story: Brianne is my best friend from high school. We've kept in touch since then. Although she didn't talk about it much at the time, I've recently found out from her that during her college years, Brianne's Chron's flared up (as Chron's is a chronic disease) causing debilitating pain and putting undue pressure and stress on top of an already challenging undergraduate experience. I wish I had known about those episodes when they happened so I could have been a better friend and been there for her when she needed me. This ride is a small step of personal atonement.
Money donated to Get Your Guts In Gear goes toward patient advocacy and support, as well as medical research. More information can be found at http://igotguts.org/beneficiaries/.
Thanks for your time and your support.
