Kennedy is calling on her early-morning listeners and local followers to support her half marathon training and donate to Team Challenge, a CCFA program which allows participants to prepare for an endurance event of their choosing, while simultaneously helping to find a cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two chronic digestive diseases impacting over 1.4 million Americans.
