NEWS ALERT: First Airing of One-on-One This Thursday

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 18, 2002

Highland Park, New Jersey, USA & @ ibdcure.org--

Dear Supporters:

Less than 48 hours from now, CN 8 will be conducting its first official
airing of the One-on-One interview with Gideon.

The first airing is: Thursday, December 19 @ 6:00 PM EST

If you can tune in, we hope you enjoy the show--if you can't, have no fear,
there will be several more airing dates. All those dates [and any other
info] can be dug up on One-on-One's website, oneonone.org.

Without prior notification to our Foundation, CN8 and the Caucus Group
apparently launched several preliminary airings of the interview. As a
result of this altruistic move by the Caucus Group, more awareness and
support is now being generated for IBD than ever before.

Here's what some viewers are saying in response to the interview, the
Foundation, and IBD itself:

"I just wanted to know how I can become more involved with Gideon. I have
had Crohn's for about 5 years now and am currently in the middle of a
flare-up. I was at home and turned on the TV and saw Gideon on ONE ON ONE I
was so happy to see someone talk about the disease...it brought me to
tears."

-An anonymous supporter from Mt. Laurel, New Jersey

"I think there should be more advertisement [of Crohn's]. I didn't even know
of the disease until a friend told me she had it. Let's get more people
involved."

-An anonymous supporter from Baltimore, Maryland

"As a parent, I can only stress the importance of funding and ultimately
rooting out the cause and curing this dreadful disease."

-An anonymous supporter from Gloucester, Massachusetts

"I think the stamp is a great idea!! Now all we need now is a cure or at
least some other drugs beside Prednisone..."

-An anonymous supporter from Raleigh, North Carolina


We are proud to say that this is just the beginning of some very great news
coming the way of those who survive IBD every single day.

Thank you all so much for your feedback. We hope you enjoy the show.

With gratitude,

The ibdcure.org e-news Team
