Team Challenge

Once again, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is gearing-up for the Team Challenge Half Marathon Training Program. The event leads up to the Half Marathon on June 4th, 2011 in northern Virginia. You can join the team through a local chapter in your area. As a member of the team, you'll receive training from a professional coach over a 16 week period. Everything you need to get into top running-shape for the half marathon event. There is also a new Team Challenge Cycle program for those who prefer to ride.

  

This is a great way to get in shape and improve your overall health while helping out for a good cause.

  

In case you're wondering, Crohn's and Colitis are digestive diseases which affects 1.4 million people, many of them children. Crohn's and Colitis is not often discussed in public forums, but events such as Team Challenge help raise awareness of Crohn's and Colitis as well as raise funds for research towards a cure.
