For World IBD Day 2025, Crohn’s & Colitis Australia is leading the #ShatterTheIBDSilence campaign to raise awareness and challenge the stigma around inflammatory bowel disease.
On 19 May, over 90 landmarks across the country – including the MCG and Sydney’s Camperdown Memorial Park – will be lit in purple as part of their Shine a Light initiative.
CCA is also encouraging participation in the Live Fearless Challenge, promoting physical activity to raise awareness and funds. These efforts aim to spark national conversation, support people living with IBD, and promote greater understanding of this invisible illness.
