HARRISBURG, Pa.-- Take Steps, a group that has raised more than $60 million to fund mission-critical research and patient support programs, is holding a walk for Crohn's Disease and Colitis in Harrisburg.
The walk, which will be held on Sunday, September 18 at 2 p.m. in Harrisburg, is to help benefit those committed to finding cures for digestive diseases. More than 1.6 million people are affected by these diseases, with some dying from complications related to the disease.
