Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas ½ Marathon

Please help my wife raise funds for Crohn's & Colitis Research (http://www.active.com/donate/lv10newjersey/LVEKarpf)

On Dec 5, 2010, she will be participating in her FIRST Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas ½ Marathon. Her goal is to help raise critical funds for Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis research. Approx 1.4 million Americans are impacted by these medically incurable diseases.

For over four decades, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) has funded research that will find the answers they need for a cure. The dollars raised by CCFA have produced many groundbreaking treatments, improved the quality of care for individuals with these conditions, and brought hope to countless lives. But there is still plenty of work to do.

With great appreciation, she is asking my friends & family to sponsor her to support CCFA’s critical digestive disease research. Your donation will help so many patients and their families win back their lives!!

Will you sponsor her? Every mile she races will get us closer to making these diseases history.

Any amount is greatly appreciated. Please contact me as soon as possible and let me know if you can help.

Donate per mile:
$1 per mile for a total contribution of $13.10
$2 per mile for a total contribution of $26.20
$3 per mile for a total contribution of $39.30
$5 per mile for a total contribution of $65.50
$10 per mile for a total contribution of $131.00
$25 per mile for a total contribution of $327.50
