Fundraise to Help Beat Gastrointestinal Disease

Fundraising pack (368 KB)

• Gastrointestinal disorders account for approximately 1 in 10 illnesses in adults and an even greater proportion in children. This said, it is thought that many gut-related problems are still a taboo subject and are therefore under-reported.
• Australian medical research is among the best in the world but we still have limited understanding of many gastrointestinal problems, their symptoms and their treatment.

The Gut Foundation is dedicated to the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases through education and research. Nutrition and healthy living is a large part of our message to help prevent gastrointestinal disease.

The Gut Foundation was founded in 1983 by Professor Terry Bolin, who, along with the board of volunteers, work tirelessly to spread the message and awareness of The Gut Foundation.

When you choose to fundraise for The Gut Foundation you are helping all Australians to live healthier and live longer.

Below is our fundraising pack.  It contains more information about what we do and ideas to help you with your efforts.  Please feel free to contact us to bounce you ideas around - we'd love to help in anyway we can.
