Carrie Grant - Crohn's & Colitis UK Ambassador

"People think of me as bubbly, bouncy Carrie - the motivational vocal coach on Fame Academy working with stars like Lemar, Will Young and Melanie C. But life is not always bright for me. I have my moments of struggle. Moments when my IBD (inflammatory bowel disease -- in my case Crohn's, but IBD also includes Ulcerative Colitis) gets me down. When I can't eat with the kids because I'm on the elemental diet, moments when slapping on the facepaint is a struggle because I'm so exhausted or in constant pain, moments when my husband takes me out for a romantic dinner and eats alone whilst I'm stuck on the restaurant loo.
Times like that, I'm glad I'm able to talk to someone at Crohn's and Colitis UK (NACC) - it helps to know that together, we can work to make a difference and help others to find their inner strength to face the future -- it isn't always easy.

If you have IBD or know someone who has -- tell them to contact NACC -- there's friendly help and support available for all ages, with understanding people at the other end
of the telephone line ... just call!" - Carrie Grant

Colitis and Crohn's are inflammatory bowel diseases that can have a devastating impact on education, work, social and family life. They can strike at any age but young people are most at risk and there is no known cure. Crohn's and Colitis UK offers much-needed information and support to the 250,000 sufferers in the UK, and also funds vital research.
