Everyone in the Crohn's and Colitis community has a unique story to tell. This Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week (1-7 December), we're looking at all the different ways your stories can make a difference to our work, our community, and the lives of people affected by Crohn's and Colitis.
It's Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week!
Will you share your story with people close to you, at school, or at work? Will you post about your experiences on social media? Or will you use this as a time to learn more about the experiences of others?
However you share, your story matters.
You don't have to share your experience publicly to make a difference. We'll also be sharing resources and support around how you can use your experience privately, professionally, and wherever matters to you. visit Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week
