Deadline extended!

Hi all, I'm going to go ahead and extend the deadline to be entered in the drawing for the prizes listed below until RACE DAY, July 20th. The local media has been so good about helping me with raising awareness, that I really don't care about being recogized for hitting my goal of $5,000 - by the 16th; but I STILL hope to reach it and surpass it by the race!!!

I'm much more committed to giving anyone who comes here as a result of the coverage a chance to be a part of my Team Challenge. If you want to be involved, here is what you can do:

1) Click this link http://www.active.com/donate/napa08national/JDeLay1 and donate online
2) Send a check made payable to CCFA to: Jodie DeLay, 706 Home Run Drive, Belgrade MT 59714
3) Pass this link on to a friend or family member
4) Make an appointment with your doctor! If you've been having a slow decline in your health with general symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue, mouth sores, low grade fever, rectal bleeding, joint soreness for an extended period - get it checked!!! While sometimes Crohns and Colitis will hit with a vengeance, often it is a slow period where things just kind of get worse and before long its hard to remember what it really felt like to feel GREAT! If you're in this position, please get checked.
5) If you're in a bad episode of IBD and need a shoulder or a good set of ears, call me or send me an email 406.209.0277 or jodiedelay@hotmail.com . If someone close to you is suffering and you just want to vent, I'm here for you, too! We will survive and THRIVE!!!
6) Say a prayer for me, my brother, my son and everyone else with bowel disease or digestive issues and then send up another prayer for their families and friends and for everyone who has been so generous and gracious and supportive of my participation in Team Challenge.
7) Wish me luck on completing this half marathon on Sunday with a SMILE on my face and great memories of a great day. I really want to finish in under 2 hours and 20 minutes, but I'm a little afraid that I might push too hard and not enjoy the race...so pray for my patience and ability to just let loose and have fun! (I appreciate this tremendously!!!)

If you can do any or all of these things, you will officially be a member of my own Team Challenge and the IBD Support Crew of Montana...I just made that up but it is catchy!

I'll announce the drawing winners on July 23rd after I return from NAPA!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
(Watch Z7 at 5:30 to see my moment of fame!)
