Esthers Inn in Prince George comes through!

Countdown - 9 days!

Big shout out to Esther's Inn in Prince George, British Columbia for hooking me up with a complimentary hotel room on my return trip. As a reminder, the money I save by getting 'comped' at hotels will go directly to the CCFA. So every little bit helps. Bonnie at Esther's was gracious enough to work with me on getting the right day scheduled. By the way, this is one hotel that I'm certainly anxious to visit. It's got a 'South Seas' theme, nestled about as far away from the actual South Seas as possible. Looks like a fun place (and not exactly tiny...118 rooms!) See for yourself here.

Other exciting news: I got my 'business cards' back from the print shop today. Impressive! Now, the next time I do this, I've got to be a LOT less wordy. Randy in the print shop is a great guy, and he's a biker too (that gives him extra brownie points) and Lisa R (jr.) did a bang up job on the design of my cards. Kudos to both these professionals!

Started passing out my cards right away, and unfortunately people seem to feel pressured to donate. PLEASE note: donations are just that - donations. If I can get you to think a little deeper about Crohn's and Colitis and help shed some light on these diseases, then I've done my part. IF -and only if - you choose to donate, that's YOUR choice. You can always do so by clicking the link at the upper left hand side of these pages. These diseases won't just 'go away' or cure themselves. It will take lots of research and study and trial and error, and all that means money. But don't feel pressured by me. Give if you can and if you want. All I ask is that you think about it, share my story, and spread the word that Crohn's and Colitis have big targets on their backs. And hopefully your donations and my efforts will become arrows, of sorts. (Strangest analogy I can recall ever making).
