Dear Friends,

Your incredible generosity over these past two years in supporting=my team, Young NYC, in the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation (CCFA) "Take=Steps, Be Heard" Walk has made a big difference for me and the 1.4 milli=n people living in the U.S. with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Here are some recent research milestones reached because of your p=st donations to Young NYC for the CCFA:

• discovered the first gene for Crohn's Disease;

• developed the first biologic medication for IBD, infliximab, that=revolutionized the treatment;

• developing animal models of IBD, a vital resource for understandi=g;

• investigation of microbial antigens, bacteria that normally occur=in the intestine and that are involved in the body's immune response;

• investigating the efficacy of the biological agent infliximab in =ombination with methotrexate for Crohn's disease -- study is ongoing.•</=pan>

Not only is this research important because it might one day lead =o a cure (thus far all treatments help suppress the disease but don't cu=e it), but it is also vitally important for my health today. Everything we=can learn about Crohn's and its treatments increases the chance that I--=nd everyone with IBDcan live healthy, productive lives today and going for=ard.

We will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge on May 16 with the intent =f moving the ball forward for IBD; and I would love for you to be a part o= the team.
