Patients, employees and friends are invited to join us in Houston for the Take Steps Walk, organized by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. The annual event raises awareness and much-needed funding for Crohn’s and colitis research. Three GI Alliance groups — TDDC, Greater Houston Gastroenterology and Bay Area Gastroenterology — will participate together. Dr. Keith Fiman is a chairman this year, and TDDC is sponsoring the event.
TDDC employees, patients, friends and family are invited to participate with the TDDC team.
Take Steps Event Details
The 2019 walk is set for 8 a.m., Saturday, March 30 at the Houston Zoo, located at 6200 Hermann Park Drive. Check-in begins at 7 a.m. Participants are encouraged to stay around after the walk for more festivities from the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. Participants are also welcome to stay at the zoo for free the rest of the day. The Take Steps program is one of many ways the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation raises funding for research for cures. Raising money through events like these requires a team commitment, and the money that’s raised fuels research efforts, advances treatments, and supports patient education.
