Live Fearless Challenge: Be fearless your own way

By 2022, it’s expected that more than 100,000 Australians will be living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. For over 30 years, Crohn’s & Colitis Australia’s mission has been to make lives more liveable for people living with Crohn’s and colitis.

There is little understanding in the community about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and symptoms are often invisible. For the Australians living with Crohn’s and colitis it’s a constant and often unseen struggle living with serious gut diseases that impact their personal, social and work lives.

What Crohn’s & Colitis Australia does

At Crohn’s & Colitis Australia (CCA), we envision a future where no one lives with or suffers from Crohn’s or colitis. In the meantime, CCA aims to support people living with Crohn’s or colitis through research, education, advocacy and support.

We’re driven to raise awareness of Crohn’s and colitis in the community, help people with Crohn’s or colitis get better support and care through education in the health system, and increase our knowledge about treatments and possible causes of Crohn’s and colitis as we build research capacity in the search for a cause or a cure.

In 2018, our inaugural Live Fearless Challenge was a huge success, with 5,000 people involved, walking or running more than 46,000 kilometres. In the process, they raised $240,000 to help fund new and ongoing research, education, advocacy and support initiatives.
