This month is Live Fearless Challenge

In 2021 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I was extremely lucky to receive such a quick diagnosis following an urgent colonoscopy. There is currently no known cure, or cause for inflammatory bowel disease. IBD goes between periods of flares and remission.  It is thanks to the resources and current research that I am able to continue to live my life with minimal symptoms at the moment, after a 7-month long flare, trialing different treatments. 

It has now been almost 3 years since my diagnosis. I have had 4 colonoscopies to date, more blood tests than I could count, multiple ultrasounds and MRI's and more stool tests than I ever could have imagined.

Treatment for IBD is limited, and many aren't included on the PBS. Currently I take medication morning and night, including tablets, suppositories and enemas, along with following a restrictive diet.   

All proceeds go towards Crohn's & Colitis Australia, helping to develop new medical therapies, support services and accessible resources. 

It is so important to continue to spread awareness and develop new medications - hoping one day there will be a prevention or cure. 

As I challenge myself to reach these goals during September, it would really help me to know that I have your support. If you can rally behind me with even a small donation, it would motivate me through the month and keep my spirits high.

.

Thank you and see you at the finish line!
