Awareness Month - May 2012
National Crohn's & Colitis Awareness month 2011
Last year, CCA revisted the Can't Wait Campaign. This theme not only addresses issues facing people with IBD in regards to urgent toilet access, but also the quality of life that other people often take for granted.

World IBD Day 2010
CCA has been working with our international counterparts to organise an inaugural World IBD Day, held on Wednesday, May 19. The date coincided with National Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week 2010, which was held May 16-
22.The purpose of the day was be to bring to international attention the needs of people living with IBD, articulated with a unified worldwide voice.
The leading IBD organisations from Australia, America, Canada, Europe, the UK and South America took part in the event. The website, http://www.worldibdday.org/, outlines the aims of the day and the support required for people living with Crohn’s or colitis.
CCA chief executive Francesca Manglaviti said taking an international approach would help to highlight all of the issues relating to IBD.
"Harnessing extra noise for our cause of making life more livable for people with IBD will help us to raise awareness within the general community, governments and workplaces," Ms Manglaviti said.
Thank you to all the CCA members who helped raise awareness and funds during the week by supporting CCA’s media campaign and events, and organised awareness activities in their workplace, school or social club.
