We will be participating in the White Plains Take Steps Crohn’s & Colitis Walk on June 9th, 2009, 6pm. By forming a team, I have made a bold commitment to making a difference in the lives of those suffering from digestive diseases. Please support my donating to our team goal of $1,000.

Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis is CCFA’s national evening walk and celebration and the nation’s largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases. Participants will enjoy a casual 2-3 mile stroll and raise money for crucial research that wouldn’t even have been possible a few short years ago, bringing us closer to a future free from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Throughout the year, Take Steps enables patient families to join together with their local community to build visibility and awareness about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis while raising critical funds for research. Over 1.4 million American adults and children are affected by these digestive diseases. While many suffer in silence, Take Steps brings together this community in a fun and energetic atmosphere, encouraging them to make noise and be heard.

One in every 200 people suffer daily with digestive diseases. With the support of communities nationwide, CCFA has raised much needed funds that, through research, have brought us closer to a cure. For those living with these chronic diseases, life is a roller coaster of active and remitting disease. However, the opportunity to make life more manageable for patients who live day to day with intense pain, the threat of long term hospital stays and multiple surgeries has never been greater.

Our Story

My sister and brother were both diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. It is something that my family has had to handle since 1984, when my sister was 12 years old.

As the years have gone by doctors have paid close attention to my sister, brother, and me. Over the years my sister’s condition has worsen and is now on lifetime medication. She has to deal with day to day pains and aches. ‘Til this day my brother’s disease has been stable and I have been cleared of Crohn’s. I do, however, suffer from ulcers. That pain alone is not a pleasant one so I can only imagine what patients like my sister, MJ, go through daily.

Got Guts?
