The reactions to the news that two fellow crohnies and I would attempt to drive a rickshaw 3000km through India were priceless.

Belinda Brown wears many hats:
This aims to outline the key features of blood tests commonly used in children with IBD. It does not cover every test, or every situation.
Hannah Morton, Camp Purple Live Committee Member
“What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)”? This is what I said when my current PhD supervisor and we were discussing possible research topics. I was given a basic overview of both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and went away to do a little research myself.
Colleen Flemmer, Camp Purple Live Committee Member
For those of you that joined us for the parent seminar this year, a massive thank you for a) trusting the team with your children for a week long camp and b) for making the huge effort to get yourselves there. As a parent myself I know what a mission this is to organise, especially if there are other siblings in the house (and/or pets) and juggling work schedules.
For those who don’t know, at the conclusion of Camp Purple, over fifty children and twenty volunteers were stranded at Wellington Airport. The entire airport suddenly closed due to fog. Every flight was cancelled. Many of the children were on special diets, virtually all of them were on medications, all the checked luggage needed to be collected, parents needed to be notified, and seventy flights rebooked. We had no place to stay for the night and no food for the children. It had all the makings of an organisation’s worst nightmare.
