Take Steps Home Video Contest Winner!

To kick things up a notch and to encourage our teams to tell us how they REALLY feel about participating in the Take Steps walk, we had a contest this year to see which team could make the best team video! Our winning team was Team UCVlog with an amazing, and inspiring video! Check it out below!

Nadia and Dennis are two young people that were diagnosed with Crohn's colitis and ulcerative colitis respectively several years ago. They both had their colons removed, lived with an ostomy, and now both live with fully-functioning J-pouches! They each started making videos to tell their stories to others who are going through these diseases. This year, they teamed up and created the United Colon Vlog, and have so far had lots of success with outreach and raising awareness!

This year, Nadia and Dennis decided to start a Take Steps team to raise money for research and to give back to their Crohn's and Colitis community, since they have experienced dramatic improvements in health since their surgeries.

"We hope that one day a cure can be found, since we know how terrible these diseases can get. We are confident that in our long lives ahead of us, some great progress will be made!"
