On June 20th, Ostomy Canada Society ambassador Alex MacInnis is Stepping Up For Ostomy, pushing himself further than ever, and taking on one of the most demanding endurance challenges in Canadian trail running: the Sasquatch Ultra 24.

For this year's marathon, Alex has a fundraising target of $25,000, with proceeds going towards our annual Ostomy Canada Youth Camp! With camper registrations up 30% this year, each donation is essential funding to ensure that every young ostomate has the opportunity to experience an unforgettable and life-changing summer, connecting with their peers, building confidence and independence, and learning how to manage their health and their ostomies.

Thanks to ambassadors like Alex, and donors like you, no child is ever denied the chance to attend Ostomy Canada Youth Camp due to financial limitations.

Le 20 juin, Alex MacInnis, ambassadeur de la Société canadienne des personnes stomisées, se surpasse en participant à l'un des défis d'endurance les plus exigeants du trail canadien : le Sasquatch Ultra 24.

Pour le marathon de cette année, Alex s'est fixé un objectif de collecte de fonds de 25 000 $, dont les profits iront au camp de jeunes d'Ostomie Canada. Avec une augmentation de 30 % des inscriptions cette année, chaque don est essentiel pour permettre à chaque jeune stomisé de vivre un été inoubliable et transformateur, de tisser des liens avec ses pairs, de gagner en confiance et en autonomie, et d'apprendre à gérer sa santé et sa stomie.

Grâce à des ambassadeurs comme Alex et à des donateurs comme vous, aucun enfant ne se voit refuser la chance de participer au camp de jeunes de la Société de stomie du Canada pour des raisons financières.

From June 20-21, Alex is and taking on one of the most demanding endurance challenges in Canadian trail running: the Sasquatch Ultra 24, a continuous 24‑hour trail race where runners cover as much distance as possible within the allotted time.

Last year, Alex completed the Squamish 50/50—two ultra‑marathons in two days—while raising $18,650 for Ostomy Canada Society’s programs, advocacy, and community support.

This year, he's upping the challenge and the goal, aiming to raise $25000, for Ostomy Canada Society's programs — including our Ostomy Youth Camp. With even more young ostomates than ever registering for Camp (this year alone, we've seen a 30% increase!), every donation helps a young person have a life-changing summer at Ostomy Youth Camp.

Thanks for Stepping Up for Ostomy, Alex!

Du 20 au 21 juin, Alex relèvera l'un des défis d'endurance les plus exigeants du trail au Canada : le Sasquatch Ultra 24, une course de 24 heures en continu où les coureurs parcourent la plus grande distance possible dans le temps imparti.

L'an dernier, Alex a terminé le Squamish 50/50 – deux ultra-marathons en deux jours – et a amassé 18 650 $ pour les programmes, la défense des droits et le soutien communautaire de la Société canadienne des personnes stomisées.

Cette année, il relève le défi et vise un objectif plus ambitieux : amasser 25 000 $ pour les programmes de la Société canadienne des personnes stomisées, notamment notre camp de vacances pour jeunes stomisés. Avec un nombre record d'inscriptions au camp (une augmentation de 30 % cette année seulement !), chaque don permet à un jeune de vivre un été inoubliable au camp de vacances pour jeunes stomisés.

Merci d'agissez pour stomie, Alex !

Has your ostomy routine stopped working the way it used to?

Many people assume that once they find an ostomy routine that works, it will always stay the same. But changes in your body, lifestyle, health, or stoma can affect how your ostomy system performs over time.

In this helpful article, Erika Kana, RN explores why ostomy needs can change, the signs your routine may need reassessing, and practical adjustments that can help restore comfort, confidence, and peace of mind.
