Help Eli Fight Crohn's

Eli Biddy was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 3 years ago when he was 12. Now, friends of his family are joining together to make sure his family can afford the medical bills that aren't covered by insurance.

Vicky Sams, a friend of Biddy's mother, along with four other friends organized a benefit to raise money that will directly fund the medical expenses.

Stop by Holiday Harbor Marina in Acworth on May 19 from 1 to 6 p.m.

There will be two live bands, kids activities, a bouncy house, face painting and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation will have an informational booth.

There will also be an air brush artist, silent auction, Kona Ice snowcones and a cake walk.
