Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers. Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-fueled organization dedicated to finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
