I'm living fearlessly this September by participating in the Live Fearless Challenge 2024

In July this year I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease after months of physical issues, years of stomach/digestive issues and over a decade of iron issues. While this has been extremely hard to process and is an ongoing challenge I face, I have chosen to embrace this chronic illness and do something constructive to help deal with it mentally.


I’m getting active to achieve 150kms and raise awareness and much needed funds for Australians living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.


As I challenge myself to reach these goals during September, it would really help me to know that I have your support. 


All proceeds go towards Crohn's & Colitis Australia's support services, research initiatives, education and advocacy programs for the Crohn's and colitis community.

Thank you!

? Chronic Illness Hard Launch ?

In early July I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. For months I have had severe issues with my energy levels, for years I have had issues with my stomach/digestive system and for over a decade I have had iron issues. To get an answer was bittersweet to say the least. After all the gaslighting from Doctors, those close to me and also my own self doubt it was so wonderful to know it's not in my head, it's not normal to feel this way and also to know I wasn't alone. 
But.
Living with chronic illness is not just being sick regularly, it's not an over exaggeration, it's not being a hypochondriac. 

It is fucking hard. 

It is not being believed because it's not something you can see (eg like a broken leg).
It is not knowing how full your energy cup will be when you wake up every day.
Or how what size that energy cup might be.
It is pushing yourself to do things for yourself that you enjoy and then feeling guilty you did it as you're now knackered for days.
It is feeling guilty for resting even though you know your body and mind need it.
It is mourning your old self.
It is feeling guilty for letting down others when they should be supporting you instead.
It is feeling like a burden.
It is mentally draining.
 
It is fucking hard.

While it will be challenging, I want to embrace the chronic illness. Not just for my own suffering mental health but to also raise awareness and to try and help others feel less guilty about their own illnesses.
