Efforts to combat Chron's Disease in Children received a $12 million grant fron the British Columbia Government Monday.

The money was given to the Children with Intestinal and Liver Disordes (C.H.I.L.D.) Foundation to find a cure for children with intestinal and liver disorders, such as Crohn's Disease, the province announced in a press release.

One project aimed at combatting Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (I.B.D.).

Dubbed the C.H.I.L.D. National I.B.D. Research Collaborative, it will connect healthcare professionals, researchers, hospitals, funding agencies and families, from across the country with a focus on finding a cure for Crohn's Disease.

Children with inflammatory Bowel Diseases suffer unpredictable inflammation and ulceration causing excruciating pain, bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss or gain, chronic fatigue, and anaemia. These children are often confined to their homes, miss a great deal of school and often cannot participate in sports.

The National I.B.D. Research Network will allow researchers in different geographical locations to work together in teams, which could lead to an international effor led by Canada to defeat Crohn's Disease, the press release said. It will be the first time since SARS that a nation-wide collaborative effort in Canada has been undertaken to target one disease, the release said.
