Step Up For CICRA 2026

Can you Step Up For CICRA this World IBD Day?

World IBD Day is fast approaching on Tuesday 19th May 2026. This year's theme is IBD has no borders: Access to IBD care, highlighting the fact that where a person lives still determines whether they receive a timely diagnosis, specialist support and effective treatment. 

This year, we are asking our supporters if they can Step Up For CICRA by taking part in a simple fundraising challenge during the month of May, raising money and awareness to help all those living with IBD. 

The activity you choose is up to you - perhaps you can set yourself a daily step challenge? Or complete a total amount of steps by the end of the month? (Climbing Mount Everest is 58,070 steps apparently!). 

All you need to do is set up a fundraising page. If you are happy to share your journey online, this is a great way of raising awareness as you go. Use #StepUpCICRA so we can see what you are up to!
