Live fearlessly and wear purple on World Inflammatory Bowel Disease Day

19 May is not just Malcolm X Day in the United States, Ho Chi Minh Day in Vietnam and rugby league legend Andrew Johns' birthday, it's also World Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Day. In fact, the whole of May is Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Month. The theme this year, according to Crohn's and Colitis Australia (CCA) is for Australians with these conditions to "live fearlessly".
