#YouKnowMe last day ft. Dylan You've heard Dylan share just how important having a team of people around him has been for his IBD journey! @dj_dfunk shares that this special moment in time with his grandpa, dad, and swing coach! These men have been there every step of the way!

#YouKnowMe Day 5 with Dylan! You are SO much more than your IBD. @dj_dfunk is living proof that he has not allowed his disease to define him!

#YouKnowMe Day 4 with @dj_dfunk "The biggest lesson I have learned on my journey with IBD is how important it is to listen to your body when there is something wrong. I found it important to stay on top of that so I can perform at the highest level possible."

#YouKnowMe Day 3! @dj_dfunk reflects back from his freshman year, sharing that "we battled every year to go in and win everything we played. These guys were right by my side when I was diagnosed in 2017. I couldn’t have gotten through all of it without them. Love you guys!"

#YouKnowMe Day 2 with @DJ_DFunk He shares it's important to make IBD Visible because "We all go through our own invisible battles. I want to show that it's okay to be open about our battles & to speak out about them. We all can help each other become healthier. We are not alone."

This week's #YouKnowMe story: @DJ_DFunk "This was one of my first infusions & I was gifted this book of former NFL punter Rolf Benirschke. Going through his journey as a pro athlete battling through the difficult times really guided me in the right direction for my own career."

Join us starting Monday, January 18 through Friday, February 12 as we follow along with Hoosier patients and their IBD journeys as they share with us that #YouKnowMe.
