    To everyone who has supported Crohn's & Colitis New Zealand (CCNZ) through our Givealittle page, thank you. Whether you've donated, shared our fundraising efforts, attended an event, or helped spread awareness, you've played a part in making our work possible.

    Every contribution helps CCNZ support New Zealanders living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis through advocacy, education, resources, peer support, awareness initiatives, and programmes like Camp Purple Live.

    While applications are open for Camp Purple, the fundraising doesn't stop. Programmes like Camp Purple rely on the generosity of our community to help cover the costs of providing a safe, inclusive, and memorable experience for every camper. Every donation helps turn Camp Purple from an idea into a life-changing reality for young people living with IBD.

    If you'd like to support Camp Purple, you can donate here or through our Camp Purple Givealittle page: 🔗 https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-make-magic-happen-camp-purple-live-2027

    Thank you for being part of our community and helping us continue to support New Zealanders living with IBD. 💜

    A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our Give-a-little page so far! Thanks to your generosity, we’ve just cleared over $1,000! 🙌 That almost pays for one child to come to camp. We still have a way to go!

    Every dollar gets us closer to making Camp Purple Live 2025 an unforgettable experience for our incredible campers. If you haven’t had a chance to donate, there’s still time to make a difference. Your support helps us provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids and teens with IBD to connect, learn, and grow. 🌟

    Let’s keep this momentum going! If you can, please consider donating or sharing our Give-a-little link with your friends and family. Together, we can reach our goal and give these amazing kids the camp experience they deserve.

    On behalf of the entire team at CCNZ, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution towards our give-a-little page. Your support has made a significant impact on our organisation, enabling us to fund vital projects and initiatives, such as:

    - Hosting the ninth Parent & Caregiver Seminar

    - Organising the ninth Camp Purple Live, which took place in January 2024

    - Publishing two online “Moving On” newsletters

    - Sustaining our ongoing I Can’t Wait Campaign and providing cards to patients

    - Distributing newly diagnosed packs to IBD Nurses

    - Celebrating the “Blessings of IBD" at the Grand Hall of Parliament on World IBD Day 2023

    - Supporting our 13 regional support groups

    - Distributing “Living with IBD” handbooks to patients and whānau

    We already have several projects in the pipeline for 2024, including planning for the next Camp Purple Live, scheduled to take place in Auckland in January 2025. Additionally, we're preparing for our next Parent & Caregiver’s seminar and another Living with IBD seminar & workshop for young adults.

    Once again, thank you for your kindness and generosity. It is through the benevolence of donors like you that we can advance towards our goals, and we are very grateful for your contribution to our mission of improving the lives of those living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

    Ngā mihi

    Belinda Brown

    CEO.
