Just a quick note about what is possible with a jpouch. Last weekend I helped coach a group of athletes participating in the Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon as part of Team Challenge; the endurance event and fund raising arm of the CCFA. All together, 450+ participants raised over $1.6 Million for IBD research. Our DC-based team alone had 5 jpouchers; one coach (me), two mentors (prior participants who signed-up again), and two first-time participants. One of them (who is a member of this site), was one of the top fundraisers nationwide and ran a very respectable 2:06. I hope that some you will be inspired to sign-up for future Team Challenge events. You don't have to be a runner (we have many walkers & run/walkers) and you definitely won't regret it. Best wishes, Steve
