Crankin for Crohn's
The mission of Crankin’ for Crohn’s is to encourage all people to participate in bicycling without regard to age or expertise for the benefit of helping fund research for a cure of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. We promote all aspects of bicycling with special emphasis on bicycle safety and bicyclists' rights and responsibilities and general health and fitness. We also seek to enhance communications among cyclists to provide opportunities for bicycling and socializing with others who may or may not be affected with, but feel strongly that finding a cure is important. Crankin for Crohn’s will use cycling as a tool to raise awareness , educate, and raise funds to be used in the research through direct cooperation of the Crohn’s and Colitis foundation of America. All funds passed on to the CCFA will be ear marked for research.
I would like to introduce you to our organization, Crankin for Crohn’s. It was founded in April of 2007 by Army Staff Sergeant Troy McManus after his return from his second tour in Iraq. The purpose of our organization is to raise awareness and funds for research to help find a cure for Crohn’s disease and colitis using cycling as a tool. Due to the fact that his brother Todd has been battling both Crohn’s and colitis for 31 years, he knows first hand, what terrible diseases they are. Being a cyclist Troy has combined his passion for cycling with the need for more research and started Crankin for Crohn’s We have had a few events this summer to start raising money and awareness and have more events planned for the near future to reach our goal of $50,000. All money will be given directly to the CCFA earmarked for research. Some of the events this summer consisted of raffles and yard sales. More recently, Troy did a solo bike ride across North Carolina starting in Banner Elk, NC and ending up in Surf City, NC. During his 367 mile ride, Troy was able to talk to many people and raise awareness about the need for research for Crohn’s and colitis, along with raising some money for his cause. We would like to ask for your help in reaching our goal of $50,000, either by a donation, help spreading the word about our venture, helping out with some of our events or becoming a member of Crankin for Crohn’s. Any help you may consider would be greatly appreciated and needed. We can be reached through e-mail at crankinforcrohns@aol.com or call; 910-429-0556 we hope you will consider joining the fight against Crohn’s and Colitis. We look forward to hearing from you.
