Running Toward a Cure for Crohn’s Disease

For people whose lives are affected by chronic illness, their body feels like a renegade—a body that’s betraying them day after day. More than 1.6 million American people suffer from Crohn’s Disease. Some of these people are taking their bodies back. Supporters and survivors of Crohn’s and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases are running alongside one another in training for a half marathon toward a common goal: to find a cure for these diseases.

Kaitlin Benz has the story.
