I'm living fearlessly this September by participating in the Live Fearless Challenge 2023

Our family are getting active this September to raise awareness and much needed funds for Australians living with Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis.

After years of pain and discomfort Jatora was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease around the time of her 21st birthday. She has faced a series of tough challenges and although has her good and bad days, every day is a constant battle living with this incurable disease.

Crohn's disease is a lifelong gastrointestinal disorder that can cause inflammation anywhere in the digestive system. Crohn’s can produce many symptoms from abdominal pain, diarrhea, painful joints, weight loss and severe anemia. Some of these symptoms are present daily while others may only arise during a flare up. While there is no cure for Crohn’s there are few treatments and medications such as steroids or immunosuppressants to help manage the disease. 

We as a family are putting on our sneakers to run/walk a total of 500kms this September and we need your help! If you can rally behind us with a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. Even the smallest amount makes a difference. If you can’t make a donation that’s okay too, we please ask you to help by raising awareness and sharing our fundraising page to spread the word. 

All funds go towards Crohn’s and Colitis Australia to provide research, education and advocacy programs for people living with an IBD. 

Thankyou for rallying behind us!
