Team Challenge Half Marathon Program
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America- Florida Chapter
About Team Challenge the Program:
THE CAUSE:
• The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. CCFA was founded in 1967 by Irwin M. and Suzanne Rosenthal, William D. and Shelby Modell, and Henry D. Janowitz, M.D.
Four decades ago, CCFA created the field of Crohn’s and colitis research. Today, the foundation funds cutting-edge studies at major medical institutions, nurtures investigators at the early stages of their careers, and finances underdeveloped areas of research. Educational workshops and symposia, together with our scientific journal, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, enable medical professionals to keep pace with this rapidly growing field. No wonder the National Institutes of Health has commended CCFA for “uniting the research community and strengthening Crohn’s and Colitis research.”
OUR MISSION: To cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
