Next, let's get to WHY you should help...

As most of you reading this already know, my involvement with the Foundation began several years ago in support of my husband, Chip, who has ulcerative colitis. (And whose birthday happens to be on event night this year!) The YP summer event was my first introduction to the Foundation and the Young Professionals Committee, and I couldn't wait to get involved! Several years later I am Co-President and still just as passionate about this cause and these wonderful people I've met through my involvement.

At meetings and events for the Foundation, we often talk about our "why," or our reason for getting and staying passionate about the mission. For me, that's never changed. Every day I hope that the work that I'm doing with the Foundation will in some small way contribute to a better, healthier life for my amazing husband. He does so much to love and support me in everything that I do, so I work hard through this committee to show my love and support for his health.

Thank you for visiting my page and for taking the time to read about the event and my involvement. And don't forget to watch on June 24th!
