Happy Halloween everyone! But better yet, Happy Awareness Month tomorrow. As most of you know November is IBD awareness month and we at the gutsy generation are so excited to continue spreading awareness about these crappy diseases. We encourage all of you gutsy folks on facebook to change your profile picture to a picture of gutsy for the month of November to get people talking and get our mission and ideas out there.
The Gutsy Generation is an initiative by the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada's (CCFC) Youth Advisory Council (YAC) to foster awareness, support and action about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBD is a chronic autoimmune disease, affecting about 233,000 Canadians - with many diagnosed between 15-24 years of age - and costing the Canadian economy almost $3 billion annually. It's time to speak out and get up - coming out of the bathroom stall to find a cure!
Indeed, Happy Awareness Month!
