RIDE4IBD is a movement aimed to increase the social awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease for people living with IBD. Our goal is to Inspire patients in order to empower them, to Challenge their condition while providing resources, education, and to encourage health and fitness for the IBD community. RIDE4IBD was founded by Cory Greenberg, a professional cyclist living with Ulcerative Colitis from Southern California. Now in remission, Cory has set his sights on using cycling as a platform to advocate for the IBD community, by inspiring others to not be ashamed of their diagnosis and to speak out about the struggles of living with IBD, while helping to encourage health and fitness for the IBD community.
