AT THE TAKE STEPS STARTLINE?
Take Steps brings together teams and individuals who work all year long to fundraise and spread awareness for the fight against IBD. At the walk on JUNE 8TH, we all come together as a community to celebrate all we've accomplished so far and the impact we've made throughout our state. While there is NO registration fee, all donations go back to supporting our mission of finding cures for Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis and improving the quality of life for children and adults affected by these diseases.
