Team IBDKids Marathon Fundraiser 2010 for The Children's IBD Center at Mount Sinai
Running to Raise Awareness and Funds for Pediatric Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are chronic, life long diseases which cause inflammation of the intestines. The exact cause of IBD is unknown and there is no known cure. It is estimated that over a million Americans suffer from IBD and 20% are diagnosed as children. IBD is the most common, chronic and serious gastrointestinal disorder affecting children. The Children's IBD Center at Mount Sinai has cared for over 1,200 children with IBD. Funds raised for the Children's IBD Center at Mount Sinai will be used to fund research into the cause of and treatments for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and for programs serving children with IBD and their families. .
