DH also had to have part of his intestine removed, and like you said I don't think it will cure him. I think it just buys him some time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754977 Wed, 01 May 2013 14:42:51 +0000 .twist. 754977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I really hope they do too. Your husbands situation is not really ideal! Although, better than the alternative, I guess. </p> <p>I know that, with my friend, even having part of her intestines removed did not keep it away. :( I'm not quite sure the name of it, but the part of the intestines they removed was unfortunately the part of your intestines that absorbs the most nutrients for your body. So, not only is she missing that but it didn't really cure her either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754966 Wed, 01 May 2013 14:38:43 +0000 heffalump 754966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Yay, we appreciate it! I don't have a good feeling that the disease will stay away, and it's especially scary because colon cancer runs in his family and an inflamed colon gives you such a huge risk of that. I'm hoping they come up with more/better meds so he doesn't have to go through more surgery and have a colostomy the rest of his life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754957 Wed, 01 May 2013 14:35:15 +0000 .twist. 754957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: That's awesome! :) </p> <p>@artbee: I will walk for your husband. :) Also, thankfully, this walk is early afternoon! wooooo! </p> <p>@Chillybear: I can't imagine riding a bike 10 days pp would be very comfortable. lol. But 6 years, WOW! </p> <p>@littlek: Thanks! That is a super awesome cause. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754944 Wed, 01 May 2013 14:30:29 +0000 littlek 754944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: March of Dimes misson is:</p> <p>We help moms have full-term pregnancies and research the problems that threaten the health of babies.</p> <p>They do a lot of work at NICUs and helping parents of premature babies.

The only reason i'm not doing it is because my due date is 10 days after the ride, but i'm hoping to still be able to volunteer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754849 Wed, 01 May 2013 13:57:24 +0000 heffalump 754849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Awesome! My DH has crohns, he had to get a colostomy for awhile but he's had it reversed. </p> <p>I've done a few walks. I'd like to be able to do more, but they're always so early in the morning and LO wakes up late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754566 Wed, 01 May 2013 12:02:03 +0000 lavender 754566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I volunteer with the MS (multiple sclerosis) society, the people who work their are now friends of ours now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754559 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:58:08 +0000 .twist. 754559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: That is cool that your company does a group thing! I wish our company did something like this. I'm even kinda scared to ask co-workers for donations for my walk for Crohn's &amp; Colitis... :/</p> <p>@littlek: What does the March of Dimes research? I've never heard of it before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754549 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:54:36 +0000 littlek 754549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm participating in the March of Dimes walk this weekend.

I run/walk in my company's name to raise money for special education classrooms and services. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-walkrunbikefly-for-a-cause#post-754324 Wed, 01 May 2013 10:29:23 +0000 .twist. 754324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just signed up (for the second year, not consecutively) for the Gutsy Walk for Crohn's &amp; Colitis. </p> <p>I know a few people with gut issues although one in particular has a seriously bad case. She's had surgery to remove a portion of her intestines and she recently delivered a little boy pre-term because her Crohn's flared up in a bad way. She was in a special Crohn's study for pregnant women with Crohn's or Colitis. She occasionally invites me to join her team for these walks and I always love joining and supporting her cause. </p> <p>It's really the only "walk" I do, but I do donate to other causes too. </p> <p>Do you walk/run/bike/fly for any causes close to your heart? What are they!? </p>
