Another annual event is going virtual this year, the National Walk To Find Cures For Crohn's and Colitis.
The Take Steps Walk is dedicated to finding cures for the millions of Americans living with Irritable Bowel Disease, or IBD. It's the largest fundraising walk event for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
In 2019, more than 50,000 walked, raising nearly $11 million.
People can come together on Facebook Live and YouTube at noon on Saturday, but the organization is still encouraging people to Take Steps on their own as well.
The funds raised will support research, education, support, and advocacy programs.

Could double-decker seats be the future of airplane travel? One man's vision reconfigures plane cabins to give fliers more protection from the spread of COVID-19.
His design puts double-deckers seats in the space between a standard seat and an overhead bin. The seats lay flat and give privacy.
They're called Zephyr Seats and were designed by Jeffrey O'Neill and his partner. The idea still in its infancy would require safety tests that could be a three-year process.
Friday is the perfect day to grab some flippy floppies for National Flip Flop Day!
It's a day to celebrate and show off the minimal footwear, that is known to some as "thongs."
It might also be a good excuse to pamper your tootsies with a pedicure so they look good in the summer essential.
National Flip Flop Day was created by Tropical Smoothie Cafe in 2007 to celebrate the smoothie shop's 10th anniversary.
