Daily life with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can feel complicated and having a space to talk with others who truly get it can make everything feel a little easier.

This month, join an online peer support event:
📅 April 14: for caregivers
📅 April 15: for those living with Crohn’s or colitis

Each session offers a welcoming place to share your story, hear from others, and explore ideas that may support your day-to-day.

Gabriella was just 11 when Crohn’s disease turned school, sports, and daily life into a battle. Today, she’s taking back her story through her Go Further fundraiser, “Kilometres 4 Crohn’s & Colitis”. 💪

“Every donation turns into something tangible. Every kilometre represents hope for better treatments and one day, a cure,” she says.

One person can spark a big change. You can, too.
