Running for a Cause: Supporting the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation

Introduction:
 I, Sai Satvik Kolla, am embarking on a mission to run 500 miles, driven by my unwavering dedication to supporting the Crohns and Colitis Foundation. This endeavor is inspired by my mother's courageous battle with this debilitating disease, and I am determined to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected. But I can't do it alone—I need your support to turn this feat of endurance into a powerful force for change.

About the Cause:
Crohns and Colitis, collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), are chronic conditions that impact millions of lives worldwide. They cause severe inflammation of the digestive tract, resulting in excruciating pain, unpredictable flare-ups, and a multitude of debilitating symptoms. The Crohns and Colitis Foundation is at the forefront of research, education, and support, tirelessly working to improve the lives of those affected while searching for a cure.

The Challenge:
I will be running a minimum of 500 miles between the months of May and December. Each mile conquered will be a testament to the resilience of individuals enduring the daily challenges of living with Crohns and Colitis.
