My story

Imagine living with a lifelong condition that many people have never heard of. That’s the reality for over 500,000 people in the UK living with Crohn’s and Colitis. These conditions are debilitating and can have a profound impact on a person’s life. That’s why I’m taking part in the My WALK IT challenge this June to support Crohn’s & Colitis UK.

In the photo, you see me looking "healthy" and well. This is what a chronic invisible illness looks like. What no one sees is the daily struggles of flare-ups consisting of extreme abdominal pain, joint pain, struggling to perform daily tasks, fatigue, brain fog and the millions of side effects from medications, the list is endless. There's a harmful misconception that if someone looks healthy, they must be feeling just fine and that there is nothing wrong with them.

Crohn’s & Colitis UK is the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. They work tirelessly to improve diagnosis and treatment, fund research, and raise vital awareness. By supporting me, you’ll be helping them continue their important work.
