Veteran Resources, Take Steps Recap, MyIBD Education Event
Published: July 1, 2026
Are you a veteran of the United States military living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD)? You aren’t the only one.
In fact, it is estimated that there are over 66,000 veterans living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).1 Whether you were diagnosed while in service or after you were discharged from service, you may have questions about your disease, need resources to navigate your healthcare options, or want to connect with others who understand what you are experiencing. The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is here for you.
Your passion, persistence, and commitment to the IBD community truly stood out this season. Through your fundraising and storytelling efforts, you've helped advance research, patient programs, and advocacy work that changes lives. Together, we raised $180,000 AND COUNTING (surpassing our 2026 goal)!
Thank you for going above and beyond to make a difference. We are so grateful for everything you've done to support our mission.
THANK YOU TO OUR TAKE STEPS SPONSORS!
