2013 NYC Walk at the South Street Seaport: t=am member Cora Vasserman (left), Woody and Caitlin Merrell.

Dear Friends of Young NYC,

Your incredible generosity in supporting my =eam, Young NYC, in the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation (CCFA) Take=Steps Walk has been an inspiration and a gift to me and the millions o= people in the U.S. with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

I am hoping you will support the team again =his year!

The CCFA is one of the nation's most i=portant sources of funding for IBD research. Not only has the foundation s=onsored investigations into origins and treatments, but they also support =esearch about the epidemiology of IBD, which scientists are now calling an="emerging worldwide epidemic."

IBD was once rare, but for reasons not yet f=lly understood the number of people suffering from IBD has increased drama=ically in the past 30 years. A recent study determined nearly 1% of the po=ulation of North America now has IBD: that's 5.3 million people. Eve= more alarming, IBD is spreading faster in infants and children than in ot=er groups.

Let's work together to reverse the tre=d!

As in previous years, there are two ways =o get involved and show support for Young NYC and the CCFA:
