Your Stories Colitis Crohn's

Talking about Crohn's and Colitis can be hard. But we know that it can make a huge difference to people who live with these invisible conditions.

Because of stigma, people are suffering in silence. Our #4FactsChallenge is here to help.

Tell. Share. Tag. Donate.

We need your help encouraging people to open up about themselves and share a fact about Crohn's and Colitis that others may not be aware of.

To take part:

  • Post three facts about yourself and one fact provided by us; that an estimated 500,000 people in the UK live with Crohn's or Colitis
  • Accompany it with a picture of yourself or something relating to your facts
  • Tag four people to undertake the challenge next and post their own set of facts with a donation of £4 where possible
