Campaign: | To raise awareness about invisible illnesses |
I want to raise awareness about living with an invisible illness after being diagnosed with Lupus when I was 15 years old.
There's many illnesses that people can't see including mental health issues, diabetes and epilepsy, but sometimes other people don't realise someone is living with a serious condition.
I struggled with support from my teachers when I was at school. I was in and out of hospital and they thought I was skipping school and becoming a lazy student - this was not the case at all.
I have made a film to help raise the profile of invisible illnesses - please help me share it!
Thank you to the following Fixers for helping me with my Fix!
