Today is #WorldIBDDay. Spread awareness about how 5 million people globally live w/ #Crohns Disease and/or ulcerative colitis
As I wrote in Letter to my 16 year old self I have been living with Crohn's disease since I was 16 years old. It is my hope that we soon find a cure for both Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. Though today is "officially" World IBD Day, in MY world, it is EVERYday. May is recognized as Crohn's and Colitis Month. But for the 5 million of us, it is an everyday battle. I hope to continue to raise awareness, in the hopes that one day ,we will be able to eradicate these life-threatening, debilitating, invisible illnesses.
Until then,
