This week we’ll meet folks from the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of Western Washington, Mallory Cwik, Kathleen Waite, and Jeff Roberts.

Jeff is the father of this year’s Honored Heroes for the upcoming Take Steps Walk on Saturday, June 9th. Jeff tells the story of his young sons’ diagnoses as well as what living with Crohn’s disease is like for elementary aged boys.

One in 200 people live with Crohn’s or Colitis and Mallory and Kathleen discuss the need for more research into how to cure these Inflammatory bowel Diseases as well as the funds necessary to support such research. The Take Steps Walk of Western Washington is celebrating its 10th year with a new site, Lincoln Park in West Seattle on Saturday the 9th at 1pm.
