The 28th annual Gutsy Walk to stop Crohn’s and Colitis will be held in Bell Park on June 4 this year.
The event is the largest single fundraiser for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada and supports research to find a cure for both conditions, which impact the lives of some 300,000 Canadians. The Gutsy Walk has raised more than $48 million since 1996.
The goal this year is to raise $3 million.
“Gutsy Walk brings people across the country together to find a cure and improve the lives of Canadians with Crohn’s and Colitis,” said Avery Graham, the 2023 Honourary Chair for Sudbury, in a news release. “It also boosts the morale of everybody affected by Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. It reminds us all that we are not on this journey on our own.”
The Sudbury Gutsy Walk is being held in Bell Park, starting at the William Gazebo on June 4. Registration is at 10 a.m.
“Create a team or walk individually with family and friends while making a difference for everyone affected by Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis,” the group said in a news release.
