“Together We Climb” isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a battle cry for our family. It speaks of the challenges we face, the unwavering hope that fuels us, and the power of unity and family that propels us forward.
Imagine life is a mountain range. Each peak represents a goal, a dream, or a hurdle to overcome. Some paths are easy, others are steep and unforgiving, demanding every ounce of our strength. There will be times the climb feels impossible, and you can’t take another step forward. But when we anchor ourselves around hope and determination, and harness the strength of our family, friends, and community around us, we can overcome any challenge because TOGETHER WE CLIMB!
The Together We Climb team is raising money to help create hope for children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. During our family’s personal battle with this disease, we've had the privilege to receive treatment and get to know the world class IBD team at CHOP. Dr. Conrad and her team have been instrumental in helping us fight with tireless determination and EVERY DOLLAR WE RAISE goes directly to their research. We kindly ask you to consider donating or join our team as we fight to find a cure!
Why Should You Join?
- IBD is growing at a rapid speed: Inflammatory bowel disease is the fastest-growing autoimmune disorder in children younger than age 5.
- Too many kids are suffering: Each year, the Center for Pediatric IBD at CHOP treats more than 1,800 young patients who suffer from abdominal pain, intestinal inflammation and other symptoms of this often-debilitating disease.
- Breakthroughs need funding: The past few years have produced an explosion of knowledge about the genetics of IBD and expanded treatment options. Today, expert gastroenterologists, geneticists and researchers work together to evaluate each child’s DNA and microbiome with the goal of developing truly personalized medicine. Walk for Hope funds these discoveries – taking us one step closer to a cure.
