The awesome #GetYourBellyOut IBD awareness campaign is …
One year ago today, I launched the VeganOstomy Blog. I started it with the wish to share my experience of having an ileostomy due to Crohn’s disease while maintaining a vegan lifestyle. I’ve learned so much in the past year and hope that I’ve provided some entertainment and education along the way.
We have so many amazing advocates in the IBD and ostomy community, but one team of advocates really stands out with a campaign they’ve been able to turn into an international sensation, and that’s the #GetYourBellyOut movement.
Started in March 2014, the #getyourbellyout team is made up of four incredibly hard-working ladies: Victoria Marie (twitter @colitisandme), Gem Gem (twitter @wales28), Sahara (twitter @Sahara88uk) and Lorna (twitter @lornamary_1981).
Boy, what a day! Sunday, June 8, 2014 marked the 19th annual Gutsy Walk for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.
This year, I have a chance to fight back against Crohn’s and to show that I still have plenty of fight left in me. Along with my daughter, Jasmine, I’ll be participating in this year’s Gutsy Walk, presented by Crohn’s and Colitis Canada on June 8th, 2014.
