2025 A Gutsy Gathering for Crohn's & Colitis by the New England Young Professionals' Community

Diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease about a year ago and navigating life with this new obstacle. also member of Team Challenge for Chicago Mara!
I'm fundraising with the Young Professionals' Community for the New England Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. Your donation supports the Foundation as they work to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and to improve the quality of life for children and adults affected by these chronic diseases. Together, we can go further, faster.
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease last summer after months of untreated and unpleasant symptoms. During a hospitalization I decided to get connected with CCF and join team challenge for the Chicago marathon in October! Double the Fundraising Double the the Fun!

Every 8 weeks I get my Entyvio infusion! All the nurses at MGH make it very comfortable and I joke it is the most glamorous aspect about having Crohn’s. I treat myself to a Blank St coffee afterwards as a sweet reward.
