Xavier and Kelly's story - Xavier and family

“If you feel something isn’t right with your body or your child’s, stick to your guns and don’t back down” – Kelly and Xavier’s story

Our family has always been there to support us. During our hospital admissions, they’d be there in a heartbeat and would do everything they could to keep us, and Xavier entertained. In saying that, no one in the family has had IBD, so we’re working out what we can do together.

Maddy's story

“A different perspective on life and what I value most” – Maddy’s story

"Despite how overwhelming this has been, and at times exceptionally isolating, I’ve learnt to adapt my lifestyle and thrive while living with Crohn’s disease. Having an amazing support network has helped, and exercise has been a lifesaver."

Ebony's story

“Even in the depths of despair, there is always hope” – Ebony’s story

My story is not just about surviving Crohn’s; it’s about thriving despite it. It’s about finding light in the darkest of times and believing in a future beyond the pain. I hope my journey inspires others facing similar battles to keep pushing forward, to find strength in their struggle, and to know that even in the depths of despair, there is always hope.
