Our 26th annual Gutsy Walk is only 33 days away! This year's walk will be virtual which means you can do your walk, your way. Walk your favourite path, trail, park or your own neighbourhood. To inspire our dedicated Gutsy walkers, we are introducing a new feature called #TrailTuesday. Each Tuesday in May we will feature a walking trail in Peel Region. This week we visited Applewood Hills Trail. This 6.6km tree lined trail is nestled in east Mississauga and follows the Little... Etobicoke Creek. The trail is family and pet friendly and perfect for anyone looking for a scenic place to walk, jog or cycle. For more information about the trail, see the link below. https://www.alltrails.com/t/canada/ontario/applewood-trail Parking is available at Rathwood District Park located at 1095 Rathburn Road East in Mississauga (Rathburn Rd E & Tomken Rd). Happy walking everyone! #trailtuesday #gutsywalk #crohnsdisease #colitis #ibd #getgutsypeel
