It's Crohn's and colitis awareness week. Are you aware of these diseases, and what can be accomplished by having a designated week for awareness?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) December 1st, 2011

A resolution has just been passed designating December 1–7 Crohn’s and colitis awareness week. Lots of people suffer from these chronic conditions, including me, yet they don’t seem to have much recognition. Does having an awareness week really increase public awareness? And does it have any tangible effects on research and development?
