Building Awareness

Help Build Awareness

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis affect one in every 140 Canadians – yet few people know of the extent of inflammatory bowel disease in Canada OR of the impact it has on people's lives.

Volunteer

Volunteer with our Crohn's and Colitis Canada media activities, by sharing local events, arranging interviews with people who want to share their stories, engaging with social media both locally and nationally, and/or by reaching out to the media to ask them to play/print our television, radio and print advertisements in the spring (for Gutsy Walk) and in the fall (for Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Month in November).

Share your story

Personal stories are the key to showing the impact. If you live with Crohn's or colitis – or are close to someone who has these diseases – your story can help to  demonstrate the impact these diseases have on the lives of children, adults, their families, relationships, and their futures.
