WELCOME TO THE MICHIGAN CHAPTER
SCROLL DOWN AND SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MICHIGAN!!
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PARTICIPANTS!!
Congratulations to all of our walkers, fundraisers, teams and volunteers for two successful TAKE STEPS walks in Michigan!
Our first walk in May at Camp Dearborn and second walk in June at the Detroit Riverwalk brought a combined total of over 1500 walkers. The walks combined raised an amazing $221,000!!!
Patients, friends, family members joined the Michigan Chapter in the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's fight against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Together we've raised money for crucial research and raise awareness of these painful and unpredictable digestive diseases that afflict millions of people.
Both walks provided inspiration to all and the knowledge that together, we can find a cure.
