It seems everyone has an opinion or a suggestion about how to deal with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Try this diet. Eat this food. Don't do this thing. Try this herbal thing - it'll cure you. It's all in your head. It's the same as irritable bowel syndrome. Or you'll receive sympathy and hear a lot about how sorry they are that you're dealing with that - it must be so hard.

How do you handle the bad or misinformed "advice" or sympathy from those who aren't affected by IBD?

Sunshine and smiles are around the corner with Gutsy Walk returning on Sunday, June 2 (or Sunday, June 9 for the Winnipeggers out there)!

Before you know it, the weather will switch gears and Gutsy Walkers across the nation will take centre stage to help kick off the summer!

We’re looking forward to having you join the community at Canada’s largest event in support of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research and programs.

When you register for this year’s walk, you help ignite a community and inspire countless others to do the same.

We walk to stop Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Congratulations, Caleb!!!

Caleb, diagnosed with Crohn’s at age nine, is a dedicated member of the IBD Community. This year, Caleb has been awarded the 2023 AbbVie Canada IBD Scholarship. Since 2015, he's raised $10,000+ for Crohn's and Colitis Canada through Gutsy Walk, also raising awareness through media interviews. He's benefited from programs like Camp Got2Go.

Despite his condition, Caleb's excelled in school and life. He represented Newfoundland and Labrador in national curling twice and will begin his mechanical engineering degree at McGill University in fall 2023. His long-term goal? A master's in aerospace engineering, proving nothing can hold him back.
