This long weekend, let’s keep ourselves & our loved ones safe by avoiding high-risk activities. 👬 Spend time with people you know 📏 Physically distance (2m/6ft) 😷 Wear a mask when you can’t distance 🧼 Wash your hands well & often (sanitizer works, too!) #Covid19IslandHealth
We are staying GUTSY right through September! Our fundraising deadline for Gutsy Walk is now extended to September 30th which means there’s even more time to keep your community active and inspired by sharing your stories or even Peter’s Lego Journey: bit.ly/2YZ8zR6!
One week ago thousands connected virtually to #gutsywalk for #crohns #colitis. Thank you for sharing your stories and pictures! And the momentum continues as we show everyone living with #IBD that they are not alone. Relive the experience ow.ly/CceL50BcRDg
#FastFacts: Over 270,000 Canadians are believed to be living with IBD. By 2030, that number is expected to rise to 403,000 Canadians (1 in 100 people) #GutsyWalk.
The #GutsyWalk simply could not take place, and be the success it is, without the work of our AMAZING volunteers who give so much of their time and talent, and who do so to improve the lives of everyone touched by #IBD. Thank you to everyone who volunteered for this year's event!
Today, Canadians from coast-to-coast walk in support of the #IBD community. By walking w. us, you help us move closer to finding cures for #Crohns and #ulcerativecolitis. If you can’t make it but still looking to help, you can make a donation for this incredibly important cause.
Tomorrow is the 25th annual #GutsyWalk! Join us for our national Opening Ceremonies, taking place on Facebook (@getgutsycanada) at 10:00 a.m EDT, AND again at 12:00 p.m. EDT, then join us again on Facebook at 6:00 p.m. EDT for our national Closing Ceremonies to finish the day!
Today we want to say THANK YOU to our 2020 Gutsy Walk local Honourary Chairs across the country ❤️! Take a look to see who’s representing your community as Honourary Chair. Gutsy Walk wouldn't be what it is without this amazing group of people.
The #GutsyWalk is going #virtual! Our virtual walk will be taking place on August 23!
Have you checked out our incredible ONLINE AUCTION?! Visit the link in our bio to get bidding! 🎈
Thankful for our dedicated team of volunteers, nationally and locally in Nanaimo ❤️ #nationalvolunteerweek #nanaimo #localnanaimo #community @ Nanaimo, British Columbia instagram.com/p/B_VsEsejc0T/…
Curious about #mindfulness & #meditation as #therapy to #manage symptoms of #IBD like #anxiety and #pain 🧘♀️💭? Dr. Sara Ahola Kohut @sakphd answers these questions and more on this Gutsy Learning Series 👀! bit.ly/2P4rXXE
Despite evidence, 1000s have been forced onto a #biosimilar since BC implemented #biologic switch policy. Debbie lost her hard-earned #crohns stability through this shortsighted policy. Don't you believe #doctors should be making these decisions not gov? bit.ly/2Sga2iS
Good news ⭐! Health Canada has approved #Stelara #ustekinumab as a form of treatment for adults living with ulcerative colitis. This means more #treatmentoptions for people with UC 🙌!
The issue is not #biosimilars @shandro, it's the forced switching of #IBD pts well managed on a #biologic. Decision was rushed and uninformed. Consequently, Albertans have many questions, are rightly upset and deserve so much more @jkenney #stoptheswitch bit.ly/3ah91OB
Ryan shares how a medication may work for one person and not so much for someone else. #IBD is a very individual disease and remission is hard-earned. Doctors in consultation with patients should be the ones to make decision to switch treatment, not gov. bit.ly/2ZExjwR
As we head into 2020, we're reflecting on the exciting moments that took place throughout the year and the achievements that we made happen together 💜 : bit.ly/LookingBackat2…
"The biologic enables me to lead a normal and productive life. If the treatment plan changes, there are no guarantees I stay in remission." Liam McMaster has lived with #Crohns since his 20th birthday. This is why he advocates for patient-doctor choice: tgam.ca/32hFjDM
Very proud and honoured in #Toronto to receive the Finkelstein Award from @getgutsycanada for our #yxe @musicforthegut family! Thanks to All for supporting us the past 9 years! HUGS 🥰 "We're Glad!"
