What your support means

Your fundraising efforts will enable Crohn's and Colitis Canada to directly support:

- Research: Breakthroughs are only possible thanks to your contributions - as was the case with the recent findings of the GEM Project!

- Programs: Whether it's the Crohn's and Colitis Connect program, the peer support program, or the provision of expert-approved educational resources through the Gutsy Learning Series, the Gutsy Walk is the key to bringing these programs to life.

- Advocacy: Whether it's calling for increased bathroom access with the AllezIciMD app, or simply shedding light on these invisible diseases, the Gutsy Walk is a day for everyone to talk about the realities of living with Crohn's disease or colitis.
