Team Challenge Honorees, Testimonials and Team NYC!
TEAM NYC/ BROOKLYN SPRING 2011
HONORED HERO'S
What is an Honoree?
An Honoree is someone who provides inspiration to our athletes throughout the training and fundraising period. Honorees serve as symbols of strength and motivation, support and determination. An Honoree is someone who is currently is being treated for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
Each of our TEAM CHALLENGE participants is matched up with an Honoree. Honorees have the unique opportunity to connect with individuals who have committed themselves to raising funds for the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. They will share their strength and courage with participants who are training to complete their endurance event.
When participants join TEAM CHALLENGE, they commit to many months of training and fundraising before completing a half marathon. They are not only motivated by their own personal fitness goals, but are truly inspired by the bravery and fortitude of each Honoree.

Testimonies from TEAM NYC!
Lisa, New York City: writes:
I can truly say that participating in Team Challenge was one of the best experiences in my life. It was a challenge in many ways: urging my friends and family to donate generously, urging my legs to run for much longer than I ever had before, urging myself to get out of bed before sunrise to meet the team for Central Park training runs. But the rewards were greater than I had ever imagined: the joy of crossing the finish line, the pride of raising funds for such an important cause, and the support and laughter shared with wonderful new friends all contributed to an unmatched experience that will stay with me for a lifetime.

CCFA is an amazing organization that radiates with a positive energy unlike any other I have experienced. Over the months of training I found that I was actually able to run this distance (which I really didn’t think was possible). More importantly everyone involved with this huge undertaking is there for all the right reasons. I met amazing people and formed wonderful friendships. It was truly a life changing experience and I’m excited to continue to be involved with such a worthwhile organization that has become important to me.
