No one with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis should have to wait days—or weeks—for insurance approval while their health hangs in the balance. A new federal proposal would require some insurers to respond to doctor-prescribed treatments within 72 hours (and faster in emergencies), bringing much-needed urgency and transparency to care. 🔗 Take action: https://bit.ly/4nFjSrJ

Tomorrow, we Take Steps. 💙

After months of fundraising, planning, recruiting teams, sharing stories, and building this community together — East Bay Take Steps is finally here.

Tomorrow, hundreds of people impacted by Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis will gather at Civic Park not just for a walk, but to remind each other that no one faces IBD alone.

We’ll walk for better treatments.
We’ll walk for more answers.
We’ll walk for the people we love.
And we’ll walk believing that cures are possible.

Whether you’re an IBD patient, caregiver, family member, friend, healthcare professional, or advocate — thank you for being part of this movement.

📍 Civic Park, Walnut Creek
🗓 Saturday, May 30
⏰ Check-in opens at 10:00 AM

There’s still time to register, donate, or join us tomorrow. We can’t wait to welcome this incredible community together. 💫
