We've had a fantastic year in 2013, raising awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease amongst the general public - with a big media campaign launched in May by X Factor and Big Brother star Rylan Clark (whose mum has Crohn's) and Crohn's and Colitis UK media volunteer Amber Gamble on Sky Sunrise and 150 radio stations across the UK.
We have seen a sharp increase in visitors to the Me and IBD main website, which hopefully means we've been successful in encouraging the newly diagnosed IBDers (a staggering 10,000 young people a year) to seek support and information from Crohn's and Colitis UK.
We hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas, wherever you are in the world (we have a lot of overseas visitors). Bring good cheer to you and yours.
