“I was diagnosed with Colitis when I was 13 years old, and this organization helped me significantly when I was first diagnosed. I initiated the local walk in 2023,” tells Rob Trembinski, sales representative with EXIT Realty True North in Sault Ste. Marie, ON of why he and the office chose to support Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.
Gutsy Walk is a fun-filled, family-friendly, and non-competitive day to walk in support of those impacted by Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) describes a group of conditions, the two main forms of which are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Living with IBD means living a life full of disruptions. That’s the case for over 300,000 Canadians already, and someone new is diagnosed with Crohn’s or colitis every hour.
The team at EXIT Realty True North registered for the Gutsy Walk this year as a team of 12 associates captained by Rob Trembinski, who also acted as the honorary chair and lead organizer for the event. This was the 30th anniversary of this event.
A portion of every transaction fee received by EXIT Realty Corp. International is applied to its charitable fund. Through the Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program, EXIT offices and associates can raise money for local, approved, registered charities and apply to EXIT’s head office to have those funds matched from the company’s pool of funds. Rob and Team EXIT hoped to raise $2,000, which EXIT’s head office was proud to match, however they raised $3,315 for a total donation of $5,315 to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.
