Last year, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) after years of suffering from physical and emotional symptoms. My symptoms developed slowly and were misunderstood. It was not until I was in a crisis that I was properly diagnosed and treated. Now that I am back on track, I will be running the NYC Marathon for Team IBDKids to raise money for pediatric gastroenterology research that can detect symptoms early, provide interventions for children at risk, and prevent crises from occurring later in life.
Please consider donating to Team IBDKids to raise awareness about IBD, support pediatric gastroenterology research, and help combat these chronic diseases!
Thank you!
