Canada has the highest incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world, with nearly 200,000 Canadians suffering with either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. It is most commonly diagnosed in young people – aged 15-25 years. Currently there is no known cause or cure for IBD. The CCFC has one mission: To Find the Cure. Please join us in our mission!
