“Being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at just 9 years old turned my world upside down. For a long time, no one could figure out what was wrong—and the pain started taking away the thing I loved most: dancing. When I finally got my diagnosis, I felt both relief and fear. But it was also the start of learning how to take control of my life again.” 💃💜

Meet Eliana, diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 9 and proving that even when life takes an unexpected turn, passion and perseverance can keep you moving forward.

The Foundation’s advocacy for increased federal support of IBD research took an important step forward today as we met with health policy leaders from across the Department of Health & Human Services to discuss advancing prevention and treatment strategies. Thanks to Kaylaa’ White, Foundation Social Media Ambassador and advocacy volunteer, who shared her powerful story at the briefing. Kaylaa’ reminded everyone how vital it is for public and private researchers to collaborate in the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
