56 Years of Accelerating Research
Toward Better Treatments & Cures

 

Since our founding 56 years ago, our mission has remained the same: to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by IBD. While we've made significant progress toward better treatments and patient care, the road to cures is ongoing. Show your support this Giving Day to ensure that everyone living with IBD gets the access to quality care and education needed to live their lives to the fullest.

Give to Support the Millions of Patients Battling this Disease

Addy's Story

When Addy was eight, she started experiencing horrific symptoms. Her health just kept getting worse and she was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease. Today, Addy is a confident teenager who loves to help others who live with IBD. Addy found comfort at Camp Oasis, the Foundation’s weeklong summer program for kids with IBD. “The second I arrived, I felt at home. For the first time since my diagnosis, I was surrounded by people who truly understood me and my needs.” Your ongoing support will help other kids like Addy have great experiences at Camp Oasis.

Jackson's Story

Jackson’s symptoms began on Halloween night when he was 10 years old. A few days later, he ended up in the emergency room, and by Thanksgiving, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Throughout middle school, Jackson was frequently absent from school due to his disease. He loved playing tennis, but sadly, IBD kept him off the court. Today Jackson refuses to let ulcerative colitis define him. Thanks to medication and nutritional therapy, Jackson has reached and maintained remission. And he’s back to playing tennis! Your gift today will help us offer support to IBD patients like Jackson.

Kagan's Story

Kagan first started experiencing symptoms when she was beginning her senior year of high school. It took three months for doctors to ultimately diagnose her with ulcerative colitis. Kagan credits the Foundation with being a crucial piece of her journey. “Just knowing I could log onto the Foundation website and get trustworthy facts and connect with people who have gone through exactly my situation has been so comforting,” Kagan says. “There’s nowhere else to go for this kind of information!” Your generosity will help ensure young people like Kagan get the information and support they need.
