Trying to make a difference

joannejacob

I've decided to make some changes and just starting exercising and watching my food intake for 3 weeks now. I am loving my fitness pal! It is really eye-opening to see how my favorite foods rank in nutrition. I'm a nurse at a large hospital in Cincinnati, and I want to do more to help the community I serve.

I have joined up with the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America to raise funds to find a cure for irritable bowel disease. I will be running a half marathon in June, and I am in the process of fundraising. Irritable bowel disease has claimed the lives of over 1.4 million Americans. I am humbly asking for tax-deductible donations to help those affected by this painful disease. Over 80% of every dollar raised goes directly to research for IBD. To donate you can visit my website:

Please consider donating to this worthy cause! And for a $25 donation, I will wear a ponytail holder on race day in your honor. Let's see how many I can fit on my head!!!
