I've joined the Get Gutsy Challenge and will Run, Bike, Swim, Skip, or Hop For Crohn's & Colitis Cures! My goal is to log as many miles as possible from August 1st - 22nd and help to move "Gutsy" across the United States!  

 

All funds raised through this event will benefit patient programs that are currently at risk due to COVID-19. This will be a big undertaking, but it will all be worth it because your donations will not only motivate me to keep moving, but they will help us get closer to the cure.  Won't you please consider a donation today?

 

About Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis

 

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are both major categories of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). IBD affects an estimated 3 million Americans. These chronic diseases tend to run in families and they affect males and females equally. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract and may affect any part from the mouth to the anus. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition limited to the colon, otherwise known as the large intestine.

 

The Mission of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is: To cure and prevent Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis through research, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these digestive diseases through education and support.
