🎉 TORONTO, YOU DID IT! 🎉

What a day! Thank you, Toronto, for showing up, bringing the energy, and making our 30th Gutsy Walk one for the record books.

Because of this incredible community, we not only celebrated an amazing day together—we also reached our fundraising goal for the first time in quite a while! 💙

To every participant, donor, friend, family member, sponsor, volunteer, and staff member: thank you. Your passion, dedication, and support are what make Gutsy Walk so special year after year. Whether you walked, cheered, volunteered, fundraised, donated, or simply helped spread the word, you played a part in this success.

The smiles, the stories, the reunions, the new connections, and the sea of purple and red throughout the park reminded us exactly why this community is so incredible.

📸 Now we want to see the day through your eyes! Share your favourite photos from Toronto Gutsy Walk in the comments below and help us relive all the amazing memories from this unforgettable day.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make the 30th Toronto Gutsy Walk our best one yet. Here's to celebrating this milestone together—and to an even bigger future ahead!

💙 And now, we proudly pass the baton to the rest of Canada! This coming Sunday, communities from coast to coast will lace up their shoes, share their stories, and continue the momentum. Toronto has set the bar high, and we can't wait to see the incredible impact that the rest of the country will make as we celebrate 30 years of Gutsy Walk together.

Good luck to all of our fellow walkers, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters across Canada—we'll be cheering you on every step of the way! 👟

✨ WANTED: Humans with Big Hearts (and maybe comfy walking shoes) ✨

The Gutsy Walk is coming up, and we’re looking for some absolute legends to help make the magic happen 💜

We’re talking about the behind-the-scenes MVPs…
👉 The hype crew
👉 The “yes I can carry 12 boxes at once” heroes
👉 The ones who show up early, stay late, and somehow still smile

Whether you’ve got a few hours or a full day, there’s a spot for you on our volunteer team—and trust us, it’s a good one.

Because this isn’t just a walk.
It’s a community.
It’s showing up for people living with Crohn’s and colitis.
It’s being part of something that actually matters.

Plus… bragging rights, good vibes, and maybe even a few snacks 👀

Let’s make this year’s Gutsy Walk the best one yet 💪💜

Want to make your donation go twice as far?

Check if your workplace offers donation matching 👀
Many companies will match your gift—meaning your impact = DOUBLE without spending an extra dollar.

It’s quick, it’s easy, and it makes a huge difference for the Crohn’s and colitis community.

Let’s maximize every dollar 💜
