As we all take the leap into 2024, let me take a moment to say again how thankful I am for all our determined volunteers, sponsors, donors, patients, caregivers, and leaders. 2023 was a HUGE success for Indiana thanks to your bold asks and continued support! In 2024, I hope our community of fighters take advantage of the momentum we have built together and keep our success rolling by taking every opportunity to make IBD VISIBLE!
