Watched an interview on @ctvottawa with Lena & Erika. Lena has #IBD. Example of why I’ll be walking with #Canadians this Sunday for @getgutsycanada’s @GutsyWalk to raise $ and connect with the #IBD community. Donate and join us.

Very well deserved. Congratulations!
Extremely thankful to @getgutsycanada and @PfizerCA for their support of our research and awards today. As an IBD patient myself, this support is so extremely meaningful for our teams to progress research and treatments for #IBD #diet #microbiome and #cancer
