My first year at HealtheVoices was an absolute blast!

HealtheVoices is an educational conference for online health advocates.

I was one of over a hundred advocates who were there to represent a chronic illness that either affected them or someone they care for.

We had over a dozen advocates in the IBD group, all of whom I consider friends, heroes, and inspirations.
