Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) is trying to raise awareness and shine the spotlight on IBD, most commonly Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Odds are, you know one of the nearly 1 in 200 Americans who suffer from the
debilitating pain and constant disruptions that come with Crohn’s
disease and ulcerative colitis. One of my co-workers suffers from Crohn's, so I do know someone personally. The physical and emotional toll
it takes can be devastating. IBD causes inflammation in the digestive
and intestinal tract, and it can affect anyone—men, women and children.
The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America was created to help
those with IBD cope and to find a cure.
Award-winning actress Amy Brenneman (best known for her roles in the television series
NYPD Blue, Judging Amy and Private Practice) is a
proud supporter of CCFA and has suffered from ulcerative colitis
herself. Amy is starring in a new public service announcement, which features the feet of everyday people where they spend far too much time: in bathroom stalls.
