You can postpone a meeting.
Reschedule a trip.
Push back a deadline.

But symptoms don't wait.
Flares don't wait.

And...

IBD doesn't wait.

These moments don't always show up in medical charts, but they're part of life with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

This October, we're collecting stories from people living with IBD to highlight the real-life impact of trial-and-error treatment delays caused by fail-first policies.

Behind every delay is a person waiting to feel better, get back to work, and show up for their family.

Share your story and help make sure your experience is heard: bit.ly/ibddoesntwait

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible volunteers who helped make the Lethbridge Gutsy Walk such a success!

From helping with setup and registration to cheering on participants and lending a hand wherever it was needed, your time, energy, and dedication made a tremendous difference. Your support helped create a welcoming, fun, and meaningful experience for everyone who joined us.

Gutsy Walk simply wouldn't happen without volunteers like you. Thank you for showing up for our community and helping us move closer to a future free from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

We are so grateful for all that you do! ❤️

❤️ Meet our Lethbridge Community Champion, Brenna Scott! ❤️

Brenna was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at just 12 years old and has been living with the realities of inflammatory bowel disease for over 21 years. Through the challenges of navigating an invisible illness, Brenna found support and connection through the Lethbridge Crohn’s and Colitis community during a difficult flare while attending university.

Now a proud wife, mom to Sophie, and dog mom to Waffles, Brenna is passionate about raising awareness, advocating for research, and supporting others living with Crohn’s and colitis. Having also worked with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada in the past, she has seen firsthand the impact this community can have.

Join us at the Lethbridge Gutsy Walk on June 7th to hear Brenna share her story and help us raise awareness and support for everyone affected by Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. ❤️

More than a gut feeling: your mental health matters 🧠
