Robbie Murray 2012 Gutsy Walk Honourary Chair Hi, I'm Robbie Murray and I'm 9 years old. I am in grade 4 at Montclair Public School in Oakville. I love playing dodgeball and badminton. I was 6 when I started to get sick. After months of severe pain and losing weight, I was finally diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Finding a treatment that worked took some time. Now I'm getting Remicade infusions and I live a happy and active life. I would really like to see a cure! Join us at the walk and help us put an end Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis forever!

Last summer I got really sick and I was put on Remicade infusions. Since then, I have been doing extremely well. I enjoy acting and directing plays. I have not let my disease stop me from fulfilling my goals. I hope everyone will come out and support the Gutsy Walk! Let's walk together for IBD research to find a cure so no one will have to go through what countless others & I have!
