Cure8 news brief
This is a first-person, local-profile story showing how people with IBD support each other and work with the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation to fund research and resources. It highlights real-world experiences with symptoms, treatments, and surgery that others with IBD may relate to.
Adult patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis; caregivers and family members; people interested in IBD advocacy and fundraising.
Mark, Neal, and David are longtime friends who share experiences with IBD and are active volunteers for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s Torch Gala in Georgia.

Their involvement focuses on fundraising for research, clinical trials, education, and advocacy; the article cites the Foundation’s 2025 fundraising goal for the Torch Gala. The piece is a human-interest profile intended to raise awareness and support, not to report new medical evidence or treatment guidance.
