Crohn’s Project
As you may know, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease last year. Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestines that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, causing a wide variety of symptoms. It primarily causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss, but may also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract such as skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, tiredness, and lack of concentration. Long-term effects can include disability and cancer.
I’m looking for people with Crohn’s to help me with a new personal project. I’d like to tell the stories of people with Crohn’s disease by shooting portraits, video, and audio to give voice to the issues related to the disease. I’m also looking for anyone with other forms of inflammatory bowl disease (IBD) such as Ulcerative Colitis to participate in the project.
I’d like to use this project to help draw awareness to the disease. If any of you have IBD or any of your family or friends have IBD please let them know about this, and invite them to join me in this project.
Thanks!
