Testimonials
"My son was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, an incurable, lifelong chronic illness. This has inspired me to do whatever I can to help other patients and families navigate Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). Connecting to Cure Crohn's and Colitis has been my rock for over 6 years. Our journey has been supported with incredible advice and love."

"CtoC and the caregiver support group have been a lifeline for us as we struggled through our daughter's diagnosis. I truly don't know how we would have made it through this time without their support. Having a child with a medical condition can feel so isolating, and CtoC helped us feel less alone."

"My daughter's IBD diagnosis at 8-years-old was the worst thing that ever happened to me in my over 50 years of life. I was slowly and sadly learning that this was something I could not fix. My husband and I were willing to do anything but we soon found out that there is no cure. I didn't know anyone else who had a child with this disease. I had so many questions for her doctor every time I went to her appointments. I had many friends that offered their genuine love and support but, they were the first to admit that they didn't truly know what it was like to be in the situation we were in. I was in need of emotional support from people who really understood. Thankfully, that is when I discovered C to C. I have received amazing and up-to-date medical information. Most importantly, I have received the emotional support and friendship from other caretakers who know EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. Finding C to C was the one good thing that came out of COVID because I was able to locate them on Zoom. I literally live on the other side of the country but it feels like I'm in the room with the other members. My biggest hope will always be that they find a cure for IBD but I know that while I'm waiting for that, I am not alone."

"I have suffered with IBD since 1987 when I was 15 years old. It’s been a struggle to stay or get into remission, and I’ve had my colon removed, so there have been some very dark days in my quest to stay or get healthy. I have been on every medication (biologic or otherwise) and nothing has really held me in remission for more than 5 years - which is pretty good, but at present I am trying to find something that will work for me now as I have been in a nasty flare up for the past 6 months.That said, I never felt like I was too far away from the best care available. I am appreciative of my former physician who was knowledgable in the area of most concern for me - living with a JPouch and keeping that pouch ulcer and inflammation free. My current doctor has a well run office and mostly, I can get the care and attentions I need. Working with and being on the board of Connecting to Cure along with the excellent care of my medical team has provided me with a safe space and the medical assurance we all need when coping with Crohn’s Disease. My hope is obviously to find a cure for anyone living with or affected by IBD. Crohn’s Disease Patient"

"I am a college student who was diagnosed with Crohn’s my freshman year. I started Peer to Peer and I am glad I did. I was paired with another student, it was really nice of have someone who knew what is like to have Crohn’s and gave me emotional and helpful tips navigating Crohn’s and also college."

"I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at age 22, just a few months after graduating college and moving to a new city. As the only one in my family with IBD, I felt overwhelmed with all the foreign information coming from all my doctors. Connecting to Cure helped me make sense of everything."
