Perth’s IBD Community Walks Together 💜

What a beautiful day for the Perth IBD community.

Today, we came together at South Perth Jetty for a very special walk to raise awareness and funds for Crohn’s & Colitis Australia.

With the Perth city skyline in the background, blue skies above us and an incredible group of people walking side by side, it was such a wonderful reminder of just how strong and supportive this community is.

For people living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the challenges aren’t always visible. Days like today are so important because they help bring IBD into the conversation, raise awareness of what people and families experience, and show those affected that they are not alone.

The turnout was fantastic, the weather could not have been better, and there was such a positive atmosphere throughout the morning. Seeing families, friends and members of the IBD community come together for the same cause was incredibly special.

Most importantly, every person who walked, donated, shared our fundraising page or helped spread awareness has contributed to supporting the work of Crohn’s & Colitis Australia.

We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us so far. Every donation, no matter the size, helps fund awareness, support, advocacy and research for Australians living with inflammatory bowel disease.

Today wasn’t just about the kilometres we walked — it was about community, awareness, support and hope.

Thank you to everyone who made today such a wonderful success. 💜

Together, we’re making IBD visible.

And our fundraising isn’t over yet, if you would still like to support this amazing cause, every contribution is greatly appreciated.

💜 JOIN THE POO FIGHTERS!

We’re taking on the 2026 Live Fearless Challenge — and we’d LOVE you to join our team! 💪💜

Our challenge is simple: move for at least 30 minutes every day throughout September while raising funds and awareness for Crohn’s & Colitis Australia.

For us, this one is incredibly personal. 💜

We’re doing it for Xavier, our beautiful five-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at just two and a half years old.

And we’re doing it for Lessy, who is part of our team this year and lives with Crohn’s disease.

We’re also doing it for the more than 180,000 Australians living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis — conditions that currently have no cure.

So… come and be a Poo Fighter with us! 💩💜

Walk, run, ride, swim, hit the gym, dance around the kitchen — however you choose to move, it all counts. You don’t need to be super fit or an athlete. You just need to commit to moving for 30 minutes a day and help us make a difference.

The more people we have on our team, the more awareness we can raise, the more funds we can raise, and the bigger impact we can make.

Our Reason for Taking on the 2026 Live Fearless Challenge 💜

This September, we are taking on the 2026 Live Fearless Challenge, moving for at least 30 minutes every day in support of Xavier and Lessy, two very special members of our team who know all too well what it means to live with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Our beautiful five-year-old boy, Xavier, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was just two and a half years old. Even before his diagnosis, his young life involved repeated hospital visits, significant pain and so much uncertainty. The past few years have been incredibly difficult for Xavier and for everyone who loves him, but through it all, he has shown more courage and resilience than any little boy should ever have to.

And this year, Lessy is part of our team too! 💜 Lessy lives with Crohn’s disease, another form of IBD, making this challenge even more personal and giving us another very special reason to move, raise awareness and fight for a future without IBD.

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease. More than 180,000 Australians live with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and there is currently no cure. 💔

We are raising funds for Crohn’s & Colitis Australia to support people living with IBD and their families, fund vital research, and advocate for better care and a brighter future.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, is deeply appreciated. By supporting our team, you are helping advance IBD research and giving us hope that Xavier, Lessy, and every person living with IBD can look forward to a healthier, happier future.

All donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and a receipt will be sent directly to your inbox.

Thank you for standing beside Xavier and Lessy and supporting The Poo Fighters. It means more to us than words can express. 💜
