Start A Free EvaluationThe walk, coordinated by the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), raises funds to find cures for Crohn’s disease and colitis, debilitating, medically incurable diseases of the digestive system that affect more than 1.6 million Americans. Referred to collectively as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s and colitis cause severe abdominal pain, debilitating fatigue, extreme weight loss, and other symptoms that can cause permanent disability.

So far, the foundation has reached nearly half of its $150,000 goal. “Many patients feel they are alone in their struggle with IBD, not knowing how to explain their struggle with IBD to others,” explains the CCFA. “Take Steps empowers patients and provides a safe and welcoming environment for patients and their families to connect and inspire one another.”
The summer walk in Pittsburgh begins at 10 a.m. on June 10 at the Hartwood Acres Amphitheater, located at 200 Hartwood Acres. Check-in and the festival kickoff is at 9:00 a.m.

The walk portion of CCFA’s event is non-competitive in nature, with two- to three-mile routes that are usually handicap accessible. The foundation also offers various incentives for fundraising to help strengthen the commitment to support the cause, including memorabilia and access to all event day events.
