Crohn's Colitis Canada Lethbridge Chapter

05/24/2026

❤️ 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. ❤️
