Heel N Wheel A Thon

We are lucky enough to have become friends with a fabulous family, the Clements. I met Denise through the Run Club I attend and we have a lot in common, aside from the running. She and her husband Jason have two great daughters, Sara and Dylan.


Recently, Jason was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is part of a family of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. People with Crohn's disease experience a range of unpleasant, painful symptoms.


On June 12th, Zachary and I will be joining Jason, Denise and a few others at the Heel N Wheel A Thon here in Sudbury, to raise funds for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada.



As Zachary proved last year when he raised $1318 for CHEO, he is a far better fundraiser than I am. So I will be coaching him and running at his side on June 12th, but he is doing all the fundraising. He has once again set a goal of $500, and his well on his way having already raised $375!


You can help him out by following this link and donating any amount you can....every donation helps!


What a kid....he sure makes us proud!
