    In case you don't read the blue room, I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which is an autoimmune disease that affects the small intestine. I am going to run a half marathon in July and I would really appreciate any support you Wordforgers can give, either through encouragement or with money (but especially with money :P). Please send this on to anyone you think might help (doesn't one of yous have a generous aunt who won the lotto?), especially if they are affected by Crohn's or ulcerative colitis.

    This is my fund raising site, if you want to learn more.

    Thanks Wordforge. :wahine:

    Done. We were out of pocket two weeks ago. Rectified.

    This was like Cheeky Monkey's boobaliscious half marathon right? :flow:

    Soz......haven't been around much in the past 18 months or so. Still, pleasing to see that someone I thought was a spotty bloke is a nice looking lassie :)

    Good luck with the run. I know how tough these types of chronic diseases can be. The g/f has lupus and she can have good days, or some really bad days as well.

    Wah-hee-nay or Vah-hee-nay, or if you've grown up hearing it you are capable of pronouncing it somewhere in between. :P I lean more towards Vah (W is pronounced like a V auf Deutsch too).

    That's kind of the joke behind my blue room thread title. Just a little girl in the world rhymes, just a little wahine in the world does notsomuch.
