Moe's Southwest Grill in Pewaukee is helping us with our fundraising for Team Challenge and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation by donating 10% of all sales from 3pm to 9pm.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are painful, unpredictable diseases that attack the digestive system. Many patients require hospitalization and surgery. These illnesses can cause severe complications, including colon cancer in patients with long-term disease. Some 1.4 million American adults and children suffer from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, with as many as 150,000 under the age of 18. Most people develop the diseases between the ages of 15 and 35.

Please stop by for some great food and help out a great cause. If you are unable to attend this event but would like to donate please visit my donation web page at http://www.active.com/donate/napa09wisconsin/napa09PLitzau

See you there!!!!

Team Challenge Recruiting Event - InStep 5K at State Fair Park - 2/1/09

As a Team Challenge Mentor one of our duties it to help recruit for the 2009 season. On February 1st InStep had a 5K at State Fair Park to raise money for Childhood Cancer. Tyler (our Endurance Manager for Team Challenge) and I went to the event to tell people about Team Challenge. I thought Sydney & Hailey (my younger daughters) would enjoy cheering the runners on as well as holding up Team Challenge signs so I brought them with me as well. It was a bit chilly but I decked the girls out in their Team Challenge gear and everyone noticed them - mission accomplished. Hopefully there will be a few people who join Team Challenge because they saw us or got a flyer. There is still time to sign up - let us know if you are interested. Afterwards, we went out for hot chocolate and bagels - YUM!

We are doing it AGAIN and this time we are going to Napa Valley!!!!

We are very happy to announce that we have signed up as Team Challenge Mentors for the Napa to Sonoma Wine Country 1/2 Marathon in July. We are looking forward to meeting new members of Team Challenge and helping them through training and fundraising. We learned alot from our participation in the San Antonio Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon in November of 2008 (visit our blog from that journey at http://ppechulis.blogspot.com/) and we are looking forward to helping others enjoy the experience at the Napa to Sonoma Wine Country 1/2 Marathon.

We are starting our fundraising letter writing campaign in hopes that we will meet our goal long before the deadline. Glad to have you along for the ride. Your support is greatly appreciated.
