Spokesperson Jody O’Donnell says the diseases affect plenty of local people.
“Lunenburg County has one of the highest rates of Crohns and Colitis, or IBD, in the world.”
O’Donnell is hoping to get 200 participants for this years five kilometre walk or run.
He says they’re hoping to raise $25,000 this year.
