The Crohn's and Colits Foundation's 20th annual Gutsy Walk is being held Sunday afternoon in Canatara Park.
The walk is aimed at raising funds and awareness for those impacted by Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Development Coordinator Maria Glidden says there are over 230,000 Canadians living with the condition. She says most are diagnosed at a very young age.

The walk gets underway at 1pm at Canatara Park, with registration set for 12pm.
