Crohn's Disease: Will you help?

edited December 2011 in The Porch
I've seen so many examples of the PJ fan club pulling together to help a good cause and I hope this can be another.

One of the students in my son's class has a father who is suffering with UC/Crohn's disease. My son came home the other day and explained that the class has been voting online for this brave guy so that he can win a trip to Las Vegas for the weekend. Its not a huge prize, but its sponsored by the CCFA, which we all know about because of the attention Mike McCready has brought to the cause.

If all of you could take the time to check out the link and vote for Todd (he's the 4th one down on the left) that would be amazing. You are allowed to vote as many times as you like so feel free to vote early and often. The more votes the site gets will also trigger a larger donation to CCFA itself so its a win-win for everyone. Voting closes at the end of the day on November 1st.

Thank you in advance for your help! :D

    I'm on it. I have met people in a support group with Crohn's. They all have ileostomies :cry: . This disease is no joke. Mike is lucky to have his under control.

    Good vibes to Todd and Mike that they never get to the stage that my support group friends are in.

    one for todd and one for ally...

    What is it the trip about?

    Since we can vote as many time as we want, why don't we vote for everyone, especially Todd? They all could use the aid...

    done! and i love todd's quote on there as well.

    "One thing that I've learned being a UC patient is to face every challenge and don't make excuses for not trying. For those who are newly diagnosed, the first thought shouldn't be "Why me?" but maybe "Why not me?" Things happen for a reason and sometimes we need challenges thrust upon us to make us the people we aspire to be. Fortunately modern medicine and technology are there to help, but when they aren't, that's where our family and friend support systems come in handy. We are not alone and can learn and inspire each other to be better than we thought we would ever be. IBD should stand for "I am Beating the Disease"."

    who are we doing with the voting? what is the score for TODD so far?
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

  • on2legson2legs Posts: 15,636
    I wish we could tell where we stand but its a blind vote.

    Just keep voting if you have time. Every vote increases the donation that goes to CCFA as well. :D
