Take Steps to Be Heard!

UPDATE

My new cousin-in-law was diagnosed with Crohn's this past summer. He and my cousins are my reasons for wanting to get involved and raise awareness. Please support him and everyone else who is fighting this chronic illness! I have a few friends who also have Crohn's and I understand the obstacles that come along with it.

This year on June 24th, I will be walking in the Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis Walk. Take Steps is CCFA's national evening walk and celebration and the nation's largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases. It is a casual 2-3 mile stroll to raise money for crucial research, bringing us closer to a future free from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. 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.


A lot of this group will be walking with us!

Your donation will help support local patient programs, as well as important research projects. This cause is very important to me and I appreciate your help as we fight for a cure! In addition to donating, you can join me at the event. There will be food, music and kid's activities. The more money we raise, the closer we will be to making life more manageable for patients who live with these diseases every day.

Please join me or donate to my efforts to support CCFA in finding a cure!

Thank you for your support! :)
