CCFC Publications

Members of the CCFC receive a complimentary subscription to the CCFC's magazine, The Journal (value $30). The Journal combines in-depth articles about the latest breaking medical research on IBD, with stories on topics as wide-ranging as how to improve doctor/patient relationships, to the challenge of coping with IBD in the Workplace. Each issue of The Journal also includes a Dear Doctor section, where using layman's language a physician/ gastroenterologist attempts to answer all your questions about IBD, from inquiries concerning complementary therapies, to those questioning the benefits of the newest prescription drugs or surgical procedures. Sign up for CCFC membership and receive your personal copy of The Journal.

The CCFC is also pleased to introduce you to its e-newsletter FOCUS, a special publication available to CCFC volunteer leaders. It's free, and full of fascinating human interest stories that pay tribute to the valiant volunteers who help organize fundraising events, from small towns to big cities, all across the country. Each small community is a pearl in a necklace of hope. Thanks to volunteer fundraising efforts, the CCFC is able to fulfill its mission to fund medical research to find the cure for IBD. We're closer than ever! Each breakthrough makes the heart beat a little faster.

Please send us your personal stories of courage, the challenges you faced in fundraising for the cause, and how in spite of physical challenges you stay "focused" on the goal of finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We want to hear from you! If you have a story of personal courage you'd like to share, please contact our Publications team at ccfc@ccfc.ca, or toll-free at 1-800-387-1479, or if in Toronto 416-920-5035.
