December 1st – December 7th 2018 is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week.
Tomorrow marks not only the first of the most exciting month of the year, but an awareness raising week for the two most prevalent bowel diseases of our generation. December 1-7 is Crohns and Colitis awareness week and we are very proud to support the amazing work of this amazing charity.
Crohn’s and Colitis are diseases of the gut, that affect every part of the body. They’re debilitating, widely misunderstood and there is no known cause or cure.
Every day, Crohn’s and Colitis has a devastating impact on the lives of 300,000 people across the UK – the real number could be double that.
The gut is like your body’s second brain, so when it goes wrong, it can affect every aspect of your life – from your hormones and digestion, to your energy levels and mental health.
Stigma and misunderstanding around the conditions, means thousands are suffering in silence.
It takes guts to talk about Crohn’s and Colitis – so stand with us and everyone affected by these devastating conditions on 1-7 December.
Together, we can improve lives today and build a world free from Crohn’s and Colitis tomorrow.
