Help Make #IBDVisible For Awareness Week
“But you don't look sick.” This phrase is all too common for 1 in 100 Americans living with the invisible symptoms of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, collectively known as IBD.
Together, during awareness week, help Make #IBDVisible by spreading the word and accelerating research on behalf of millions of adults and children living with IBD.
Here's how —
Vote for An IBD Warrior Or Supporter | Double Your Donation & Claim Your T-Shirt | Learn More About IBD | Livestream for Awareness Week
Living with a chronic illness takes guts—vote for an IBD warrior or supporter now!
Do you know someone who is making IBD visible in their life?
- Rocio makes #IBDVisible by mentoring other IBD patients through the Foundation's Power of Two peer mentorship program. That takes guts.
Sound like someone you know? Vote for a friend, family member, caregiver, or healthcare hero (Or yourself!) for the first-ever
It Takes Guts Award.
The winner will receive a limited-edition T-shirt and get featured on the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's social media as the It Takes Guts first annual award-winner.
Million Dollar Match: Donate to Accelerate Innovative IBD Research
All gifts will be matched, up to a total of $1 million now through Dec. 31. Best of all, this match will be directed to support research, specifically our unique Litwin IBD Pioneers program. This program funds innovative early-stage research ideas that have the strong potential to open new directions for IBD research. Plus, when you donate $50 or more, you’ll receive a limited-edition T-shirt to Make IBD Visible all year long. Don’t forget to dedicate your gift to someone you love with IBD, and you will help fund research that positively impacts patients’ health.
