This is the third annual Fun Day event produced by volunteers of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). Last year's event raised over $8,700 for research into the cure for Crohn's Disease and colitis – part of the $65 million that has been raised by the CCFC since 1974.

What is Crohn's disease and colitis?
Nearly 200,000 Canadian men, women and children have Inflammatory Bowel Disease which describes two similar, yet distinct, conditions called Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These diseases affect the digestive system and cause the intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores, and bleed easily. Symptoms can be extremely painful and disrupt lives. Research is being done to find a cure. In 2007, CCFC raised and donated $6.6 million toward this research.
