If you have the chance to speak on behalf of the inflammatory
bowel diseases (IBD) community: would you take it? At first,
volunteer and Crohn’s disease advocate Keri Flaccomio wondered if
she had a right to attend a day on the hill event with the Crohn’s
and Colitis Foundation and lobby in Washington DC on behalf of the
IBD community. Her experiences while she was on the hill helped her
to understand that not only did she have the right, but she also
had a responsibility to tell her story — and the stories of others
living with IBD. Learn how Keri made her hill meetings more
effective and how they helped her to become empowered as an
activist.
