Mission

Not everybody can get to Cleveland Clinic or Akron Children's.

This disease needs more attention here. It's more than a gut problem: it affects digestion, emotions, joints, sometimes kidneys.

It's OK to have this disease and not hide.

You can live your life and chase your dreams with it: try out for the team, run the race, go on the date. Focus on kids and young people.

Not done fighting until there's a cure and a known cause.

Our first year. Our learning year.

2026 season

Four events. We also appeared on local news and a couple of podcasts.

April 26, 2026 · Westside Bowl
