As you may have noticed, our website is covered in quotes. Quite simply, the IBD Stamp Campaign runs on inspiration. Inspiration from Gideon's situation, inspiration from those who have IBD and send us unbelievably uplifting feedback, and inspiration from those who even knew nothing about IBD in the first place. Right now, we want to accomplish two things with this section.

a) The first is to compile a list of inspirational quotes that pertain to almost anything. We aren't restricting the topics, but two suggestions might be to:

Send us quotes which have to do with health and;
Making the world a better place.

If you have any quotes which you'd like us to post, please drop a note to: inspiration@ibdcure.org.

b) The second thing we wanted to accomplish with this section was to post some feedback from many of our supporters. Gideon reads each and every email and/or piece of feedback sent to the Campaign. The inspiration he gains from some of the comments sent to him is what truly keeps him motivated to gain approval for the IBD awareness stamp and eventually find a cure for IBD. He could not think of a better way to thank his supporters for their feedback than to post some of their comments. Gideon has received email from all around the USA and around the world, and appreciates every single comment made to him or the Campaign. He hopes that you will continue to send in your feedback to him. If he could, he'd respond to every email/letter sent to him. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of mail sent to Gideon, his health factors, and the time which he puts into the Campaign, it is quite difficult to make that a reality. However, if you make time for him, he do his personal best to make time for you! To email Gideon, please address it to: gideon@ibdcure.org. To send him a letter via postal mail, please send it to:

I think it's good what you are doing. I work doing clinical studies and think it is very important that something gets done about this disease. This is very serious and the government should do something about it. I applause you for your efforts!!!

I will be glad to help!

I have a "spastic colon" problem and I have friends with colitis, so I know what it's like. Anything that draws attention to the problem is a definite plus.

-An anonymous supporter from: Brick, NJ

I think it's a great idea to raise money for this cause. There is not enough information on these diseases and word needs to get out to the public. Keep up the good work!

I hope this campaign gets of the ground so we can find a remedy to the situation for the unfortunate people who have to go through these ordeals. Thanks to all those involved with this initiative.

My son has CD and it is a devastating disease for young people. I think the more the public is made aware of IBD, the better the chances of a cure to be found.

Thank you- It is about time!!!!

There aren't many people who know about such diseases as Crohn's and IBD and I commend you for what you are doing.

I hope you reach your goal for the stamp...good luck!
