Campaign idea: Zak and Max are thriving at university
Zak and Max both faced severe Crohn's disease while growing up. Today, both identical twins are thriving independently at university.
This story
Zak was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age seven, spending ten years having regular hospital infusions before reaching remission. Ten years after Zak's diagnosis, his identical twin Max was diagnosed at seventeen and had to manage treatments and self-injections during his final school exams. Both brothers have successfully brought their condition into remission and are now living independently in their second and third years of university.
