On Saturday, May 15, 2010,  the doctors and staff at GI Care Center will be walking in Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis, the nation’s largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases.  We have formed "Team GI Care", and we will be raising money for crucial research that wouldn’t even have been possible a few short years ago. Our goal is to raise more than $1,000 for this worthy cause.

More than 1.4 million patients across the country suffer from these painful and unpredictable diseases. Beyond raising money for research, Take Steps brings together the community in a fun and energetic atmosphere. Participants are encouraged to make noise and be heard -- raising awareness of these little-known diseases in their community and across the nation.
