Gagnez un exemplaire d'Invisible : The (Sort of) True Story of Me and My Hidden Disease

This November, in honour of Crohn’s and colitis awareness month, we’re thrilled to partner with David Soren: author, filmmaker, and someone who grew up with Crohn’s disease, to help raise awareness and build community.

David’s book, Invisible: The (Sort of) True Story of Me and My Hidden Disease, is a heartfelt and humorous look at his experience growing up with a hidden illness. Through this story, he hopes to let kids living with Crohn’s or colitis know they’re not alone—and now, we want to hear your story.
