As we slowly emerge from the grasps of our harsh Canadian winter, we look ahead to brighter days. This issue of Talk About Guts is all about tackling challenges head-on and charging into the future with a smile on our faces.
"You don't need to be superhuman."
At the age of eight, Merek Pipes realized he wanted to be a goalie. Six years later, he was diagnosed with Crohn's. He thought he would never be able to live his dream; yet, today, despite the odds,
he is playing for the NCAA.
Kids are leading the charge
Have you met our 2019 Gutsy Walk National Honorary Chairs? A connection sparked between Sam and Logan when they met in a support group at BC Children's Hospital. Now, they are taking their friendship to the next level as they walk towards a future free of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis—together. Join Sam and Logan by
registering and raising funds for your local Gutsy Walk.
