Biography
Hello, Thank you for visiting. As you may or may not know, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 5th grade, over 17 years ago. Having this disease has made my life very difficult, visiting doctors every so often, and going into the hospital every now and then. I am at the point where I have received IV infusions every eight weeks for the disease.
Approximately 1.4 million Americans have Crohn�s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, and struggle every day of their lives. Please take this opportunity to help others like me, and to help cure these diseases once and for all.
I WILL BE WALKING ON JUNE 4th TO SUPPORT THIS CAUSE, PLEASE HELP ME TO REACH THE FINISH LINE!!!
Thank you for your donation,
Jessica
****************************************
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.
Please join me or donate to my efforts to support CCFA in finding a cure!
