Did you know…

the Foundation has invested more than $400 million in research towards cures since 1967?

None of this could happen without the partnership of YOU, our incredible volunteers!!

Can we get a WOOT, WOOT?!!? 🎉🙌🎈

By 1984, the first clinical trial of exclusive enteral nutrition with dietary formulas to treat Crohn’s patients is conducted.🔬👩‍🔬

It's like totally awesome how FAR science has come since the 80s in the IBD field!

#YouKnowMe last day ft. Dylan

You've heard Dylan share just how important having a team of people around him has been for his IBD journey!

@dj_dfunk shares that this special moment in time with his grandpa, dad, and swing coach! These men have been there every step of the way!

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Indiana @CCfdnIndiana]

#YouKnowMe Day 5 with Dylan!

You are SO much more than your IBD. @dj_dfunk is living proof that he has not allowed his disease to define him!

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Indiana @CCfdnIndiana]

#YouKnowMe Day 4 with @dj_dfunk

"The biggest lesson I have learned on my journey with IBD is how important it is to listen to your body when there is something wrong. I found it important to stay on top of that so I can perform at the highest level possible."

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Indiana @CCfdnIndiana]

#YouKnowMe Day 3!
@dj_dfunk reflects back from his freshman year, sharing that "we battled every year to go in and win everything we played. These guys were right by my side when I was diagnosed in 2017. I couldn’t have gotten through all of it without them. Love you guys!"

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Indiana @CCfdnIndiana]

#YouKnowMe Day 2 with @DJ_DFunk
He shares it's important to make IBD Visible because "We all go through our own invisible battles. I want to show that it's okay to be open about our battles & to speak out about them. We all can help each other become healthier. We are not alone."

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Indiana @CCfdnIndiana]

This week's #YouKnowMe story: @DJ_DFunk
"This was one of my first infusions & I was gifted this book of former NFL punter Rolf Benirschke. Going through his journey as a pro athlete battling through the difficult times really guided me in the right direction for my own career."

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Indiana @CCfdnIndiana]

Join us starting Monday, January 18 through Friday, February 12 as we follow along with Hoosier patients and their IBD journeys as they share with us that #YouKnowMe.
