At over 100 Walk sites across the country, thousands of people will gather this spring and summer to join the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Together we’ll raise money for crucial research and raise awareness of these painful and unpredictable digestive diseases that afflict millions of people. After only two successful years, CCFA’s Take Steps Walk has raised over $13 million for research and patient service programs. Our goal is even higher in 2010. We’re committed to help transform the lives of those impacted by these diseases to one of a brighter future based on well-funded, cutting-edge scientific research. Check out the site for upcoming walks near you: http://online.ccfa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TS_homepage
