I'm living fearlessly this September by participating in the Live Fearless Challenge 2023
I’m getting active to achieve 150kms and raise awareness and much needed funds for Australians living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
This is my 4th year raising funds for Crohns and Colitis Australia. Having first been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 14 years ago I’ve experienced the highs and lows of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
I was unable to participate last year as I was extremely sick with my first flare up in about 6 years — Combination of letting my health slip and increased external stressors from work.
I’ve fortunately found a happy balance again to manage my condition using medicines, herb tinctures, cold therapy, supplements, high muscle mass & exercise. It’s hard work, but I didn't want to let it define me or how I lived.
For anyone potentially living with symptoms of IBD I urge you to get help. Embarrassment isn’t worth suffering over; you’re not the first person and certainly won’t be the last.
Get to know what you’re up against, get informed, talk about it and try take control. It’s your body and your life.
Help flush the stigmas associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
