Meet twins Leo and Tommy, #CHOPWalkforHope ambassadors and the best of friends! They do almost everything together - including being diagnosed with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) in early 2022. While Tommy (left) responded to first-line treatments for the disease and quickly achieved remission, Leo did not. Instead, Leo (right) was in and out of the hospital for much of last year as he struggled with his disease, caught pneumonia and underwent a series of surgeries to improve his health. Today, Leo is stable and about to return to daycare, says his mom, Liz. “Leo is the textbook case of why VEO-IBD is so tough and why we want to raise awareness and money for more research to help kids like him.” Join their family on Sunday, April 16 at the #CHOPWalkForHope!
