DFW Massage Envy Spa Owner in Grand Prairie to Run for Crohn’s Cure

Wendy Wright is training to run a half marathon. “My son, Cohen, is the best reason for me to run and raise money for a cure for Crohn’s disease,” says the owner of Massage Envy Spa South 360 in Grand Prairie.

Wendy was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2002. The chronic disorder inflames the small intestine or colon. The inflammation leads to ulcerations and bowel injury. Symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, fever and weight loss.

As many as one in four Crohn’s patients have a close relative with the disease, so Wendy knows there’s a chance that her son Cohen will be affected. Crohn's most often strikes adolescents and young adults but can also affect young children. Some 10 percent of Crohn’s patients are under age 18.

“So far I have been lucky and have only had mild symptoms from this very debilitating disease,” Wendy said. “When I heard about the Team Challenge run, I jumped at the chance to join this cause.” She will run her half-marathon December 4 in Las Vegas.

Several of Wendy’s coworkers have contributed to her Team Challenge efforts. The center is located at 5232 South State Highway 360, Suite 610, Grand Prairie, TX 75052, phone 817-303-ENVY (3689).

“By supporting Team Challenge, you are also supporting me and the 1.4 million people who suffer from Crohn's disease and inflammatory colitis,” Wendy said. “I want to thank my many friends and family members who are contributing to this cause which is so personal to me. Your support is really appreciated.”

Wendy is already more than halfway to her $3,300 goal. To support Wendy’s efforts, go to http://www.active.com/donate/NTX11TCVEGAS/ntxWWright.
