It’s finally here! An online resource for people just like you – who go to school, like hanging out with friends, play sports, love music, and also happen to live with Crohn’s or Colitis….
There are over 300 people in our area who fit this profile (or at least most of it)….. if you’ve met them all you should leave this site immediately…. If not, check things out!!

Ok, so maybe living with Crohn’s or Colitis isn’t that much fun….. Maybe you’re thinking, “if I’m not feeling that sick right now, why should I waste my time thinking about an annoying disease when I could be playing soccer?” First, go play soccer. Then, continue reading when you get back… Our goal is to build and sustain a network of local teenagers and young adults with Crohn’s or Colitis. Our online community will offer chatting, forums, links to valuable information, shared advice, updates on “live” events, and much much more….. Whether you’re new to the “club” or a seasoned veteran, just entering high school or off at college, there will be something for you to gain or contribute. And who knows, you might even learn something! |
