Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When I was a teenager, I started to suffer from severe pain in my abdomen. It affected my daily life. However, as there was no diagnosis of any disease, I was determined to stay suffering for another 20 years. In 2005, four years after I gave birth to my wonderful daughter Lilli, I was diagnosed with Crohn´s Disease. I had to undergo surgery and until today I have to take strong meds to keep the Crohn´s at bay. In 2014 Crohn struck again when Lilli was diagnosed with this awful disease at age 13.

Crohn’s Disease is a debilitating and aggressive form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It affects around 5 million people worldwide and numbers are increasing, especially in children. Professor John Hermon-Taylor (King’s College London) is an expert in Crohn’s Disease who has been researching its  cause for over thirty years. He strongly believes that Crohn’s Disease is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium Avium subspecies Paratuberculosis (MAP) – a distant cousin of Tuberculosis. Professor Hermon-Taylor has invented a new clinical test and a modern therapeutic vaccine against MAP for which he believes holds the best hope of a cure for Crohn’s that there has ever been. The vaccine is currently sitting in a freezer in a research institute, awaiting the funding to take it from the lab to the clinic.


Thank you very much for your support.
