CCFA Adds Community Section to Website

The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America has added a new Community section to their website. A rep from the CCFA contacted me through this blog to tell me about it. Obviously in hopes that I would mention it. Well, I do get contacted once in a while about things like this, but I refuse to mention something on this blog unless I've reviewed it myself and think it's valuable and free of "agenda". In this case it's coming from the official CCF foundation, so I took a look and it does have some useful features such as a forum and personal stories of people with IBD. The information resources aren't much more expansive than what you'd usually find online but it's well organized and from an authoritative source. You'll find the website here: http://www.ccfacommunity.org.

Sadly, I find that at least with the CCFC here in Canada, they are very focused on research and not so much on support. So anything that adds a support element to these foundations on either side of the border is great in my book.
