May
World Crohn's and Colitis Day, celebrated on May 23, is a special day to talk about two illnesses that affect the tummy and intestines, called Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions can make it hard for some people to feel well, causing tummy aches and bathroom troubles. On this day, people learn more about these illnesses and support those who have them. It's like a big worldwide hug, showing them they are not alone. People wear purple and share stories to help everyone understand and care for those living with Crohn's and colitis.
