So, on Saturday I signed up to train for this half marathon in Vegas with a team that runs it every year to raise money for IBD (Cohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis) research. I've had UC since 2001 and, thankfully, it hasn't affected me too much, but there are lots of folks out there who can't ever do things like play contact sports are push their bodies too hard in any kind of physical activity because of how taxing their diseases are on their bodies.

I'm trying to raise at least 3,800, 75% of which will go to IBD research (they get that number by taking to cost of sending someone out to Vegas for the race and multiplying it by four). If any of you or anyone you know are able to sponsor me, it would be greatly greatly greatly greatly appreciated.

Here's the link to my fundraising page: http://www.active.com/donate/COH11TCVEGAS/TCDRay

Thanks!

P.S.: Maybe I'm just having a brain lapse and missing it, but what happened to the Lockflow Store? I wanted to get some shorts or a patch to wear during the race.
