Welcome to the New England Chapter
The New England Chapter is proud to introduce Team Challenge, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation's new endurance training program. This exciting new fundraising program trains you to run or walk a half marathon while helping the foundation raise funds to find a cure for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
Our flagship team just completed the Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon on July 20. Congratulations to the 40 runners and walkers who surpassed all of their fundraising and training goals!
If interested in becoming a Team Challenge participant, join us as we head to sunny Florida for the ING Miami Half Marathon on January 25, 2009. Attend an information meeting this Fall to learn more about the program!
