Welcome to the Crohn's Adventures Foundation where we are committed to helping Crohn's and IBD sufferers One Adventure At A Time.
Currently there are more than 1.4 million people living with Crohn's Disease in the United States alone. At Crohn's Adventures Foundation, our goal is to raise awareness and empower Crohn's and IBD patients to live active, fulfilling lives.
C.A.F. founder Brian Greenberg was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at age 11. Through his ongoing battle he has remained dedicated to finding ways to overcome the often debilitating obstacles in his path. Whether reaching a higher education or reaching the top of a mountain (As Brian's an avid outdoorsman), the challenges Brian faced because of his condition were trying, to say the least. With absolute determination to live his life to the fullest everyday, Brian has met every hurdle in his way and now wants to help as many Crohn's/IBD sufferers as possible to achieve their goals and dreams.
The C.A.F. will be hosting events in 2011 such as hiking, climbing, skiing, and kayaking excursions (with the necessary amenities provided) for Crohn's/IBD sufferers, friends and family. During these adventures, IBD patients will meet, bond and share their stories with others while partaking in healthy, safe and exciting activities.
Our adventures will help raise awareness as well as raise funds for the Crohn's Adventures Foundation Scholarship. The C.A.F. Scholarship will help young adult Crohn's patients trying to balance a college education while battling their disease. Climbing Mountains=Climbing to a Higher Education.
Here at the C.A.F. website you will find the latest news and updates for upcoming events and efforts of the Foundation. For a social experience much like that of Facebook, with others that suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease visit www.IntenseIntestines.com.
Together we will find a cure...One Adventure At A Time!
