Mission

The first group bringing Crohn's and colitis awareness to Trumbull and Mahoning County.

Robert is the 2026 Northern Ohio Take Steps Honored Hero for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation.

You are not alone. Someone is fighting for you.

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.
