January 2022 Updates

Please enjoy an ad by AFA - a French Crohn's Disease advocacy group. The sign says, "We're not asking for the moon, just accessible toilets for everyone." Thanks to our friend JL, who found this ad in a Parisian bar!

We hope you and your families had a safe, happy holiday season and a great start to the new year! 2022 is looking like it will turn into another busy one for FLUSH, but we promise to not overwhelm you in this newsletter.

For now, sit back, relax, and be entertained by our recent blogs and videos!
