CCFA WALK

Last Saturday afternoon we meet Abby and Tri at Tempe Beach Park for the CCFA (Crohn's and Colitis Foundation) Walk. We try to stay involved with the foundation since my dad and Abby both have ulcerative colitis. I have watched both of them throughout the years and I admire them for their courage and strength!! Colitis isn't something most people want to talk about but Abby has a great attitude about the disease and even makes jokes about some of her medicines!! I won't say which ones. I know it is difficult for both of them and I hope a cure is found soon!

There were some activities for the kids. Alex immediately saw the bouncy houses and wanted to go in them. He stood in line with Daddy for his turn

We got some shaved ice before the walk. This was not the best idea!
The walk was one mile around Tempe Beach Park
taking a water break
Almost at the finish line. We were the last ones to finish that is why there isn't anyone behind us
We were happy to participate in the CCFA walk. We hope that a cure is found for Crohn's and Colitis!!! Until then we will do whatever we can to support the foundation.
