Hi,

As a firm believer that education about UC/Chron's and other IBD related disease is desperately needed, there is an awesome opportunity through Newsweek to submit your health story in the My Turn Section. The title of the submission is asking for stories to answer this question:

Health Triumphs: Tell Us How You Survived a Health Crisis.

(scroll to the bottom of page to story submission section)

850-900 word essay is the requirement and just a great opportunity for jpouch related awareness. It would make an impact on the editors if more than one jpouch story was submitted around the same time period.

Have a wonderful New Year! If you submit your story, maybe you could also share it with us here on the jpouch site?!
