Teach and guide your child to advocate for themselves. Surround yourself with people who “get it” and those who are supportive of you and your child and accept the situation.

Join our committed and energetic New England Regional team of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation and help support our mission to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.

Every once in a while, people come into our lives and we instantly know that there was a divine reason for our paths to cross. That is the story of Adriana and me. I met Adriana when I boomeranged back into the hospital with an infection after my j pouch surgery and she had emergency surgery from a blockage. We were roommates and instant friends.
