Hi All !

It's crunch time - for my training and donation gathering. Please support me in my training for Ironman Wisconsin (Madison) race held on Sept 12, 2010. This is a huge race encompassing a total of 140.6 miles divided as 2.4 mile swim, then 112 mile bike, then 26.2 mile run. (Okay, maybe it won't be a "run" but a jog?!) The donations keep me going and inspire me to prepare for the race, so far so good, but I need some help to reach my goal.

I have chosen for funds to go toward GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome) research, and I have communicated with one gentleman whose research is supported in part by GBS-CIDP Foundation International.

If you remember, it was GBS that paralyzed my mother, and from which she made an incredible recovery. Unfortunatley, everyone effected by GBS does not make that great of a recovery, and even my mother remains affected and continues to gain strength 6 years out. I set a goal of $10,000, and I have a ways to go. Please support the cause.

You can donate online at Carol Crooks' GBS/CIDP Foundation donation page
Or by mailing a check payable to GBS-CIDP Foundation to me at:
Carol Crooks
608 W Briarwood Ln
Columbia, MO 65203

For more information about the race, you can see a motivational video (click on VIDEO tab in mid-top left) at: www.ironmanwisconsin.com/#gpm1_1

Race day you can follow me at: www.ironmanlive.com My race is Ironman Wisconsin.

Anything you can contribute helps. Thanks for you support. It really does motivate me to train!

Thanks a lot!
- Carol
