I am having problems with this!

When I run this code I get a message saying "Bummer! You're code took too long to run." What should I do?

script.js 
var count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ); {
  document.write('<h1>Ben Esther wrote this<h/1>');
  count += 1;
}

Hi Ben! If you remove the semicolon after your parentheses "while ( count < 26 );", your code will run fine. I hope this helps!
