I'm still working on getting the link to buy the Zumba party event tickets up and running, but in the meantime I wanted to provide a place for people to donate who can't attend the event.
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation (www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org) works tirelessly on research and events to improve the lives of people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Girls with Guts is a much smaller nonprofit that, among a few other things, puts on a yearly retreat for young women with these diseases. I've attended twice and found it to be exceptionally healing.
I consider myself very lucky to be healthy enough to dance, and as I've done once before, this year I wanted to leverage the best thing in my life--Zumba--to fight the worst.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
