I just signed up (for the second year, not consecutively) for the Gutsy Walk for Crohn's & Colitis.
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.
It's really the only "walk" I do, but I do donate to other causes too.
Do you walk/run/bike/fly for any causes close to your heart? What are they!?
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.
