2016 Walk for Hope


CHOP presents the 2016 Walk for Hope, a 5k Run/2k Family Walk to benefit the Center for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Presented by the IBD Family Research Council (FRC), a volunteer organization of CHOP patient families committed to raising funds for IBD research, the 2016 Walk for Hope brings together families, friends and clinicians for a day of fun, entertainment and exercise.

IBD, which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, affects about two million Americans. One of the largest centers of its kind in the U.S., CHOP's Center for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease cares for approximately 1,400 children a year with the disease.
Offering specialized care and support, our team of physicians, psychologists, social workers, nutritionists and more provide expert IBD care from initial testing and diagnosis through long-term disease management. Proceeds from the 2016 Walk for Hope will benefit the Center's many basic and clinical research studies, which aim to investigate new treatments that improve the quality of life for thousands of children affected by this often-debilitating disease.
