SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The walk to cure Crohn's and Colitis has changed its name, not its goal!  Take Steps for Crohn's and Colitis is the nation's largest event dedicated to finding a cure for digestive diseases. 

We would like to thank everyone who joined us at the Bicentennial Mall in Nashville on May 3, 2008, as we raised over $65,000 at the 1st Annual Music City Walk - Take Steps for Crohn's and Colitis! 

Thanks to all of you who joined us at the 1st Annual Take Steps River City Walk on July 24!

There is still time to support your favorite team! 

Together we can achieve a better quality of life for patients and those who participate in their care.  Better therapies and prevention are only a few steps away.
