Hannah Barton (My Granddaughter) is the Heel 'n' Wheel-a-Thon Durham East Honorary Chair for the third year in a row.
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) believes that a cure will be found for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. To realize this goal, the CCFC is committed, first and foremost, to raise increasing funds for medical research.
This year, CCFC research has confirmed what we have suspected for years - that the highest rates of inflammatory bowel disease in the world are here in Canada, and they are increasing. Our Mission - to find the cure - is more urgent than ever.
In June 2006, please join Hannah and thousands of Canadians who will be cycling, strolling, running and rolling their way around almost 80 locations across Canada. Local efforts, large and small, link together to make up our national success! Together, we will FIND THE CURE!
Two years ago Hannah and her brother Thomas walked/rode the event with their aunt and uncle. Hannah rode in the bike trailer while Thomas insisted on walking - the whole way. Thomas kept saying that he was tired and that his feet were hurting but he adamantly refused to stop walking. They were about 10 or 15 minutes from finishing (long after everyone else) when his uncle finally asked him why he wouldn't get in the stroller. Thomas replied "I want to walk to help Hannah's tummy not hurt anymore." He was 4 1/2 years old. Needless to say, he rode his bike the next year to help his sister!!
