We LOVE seeing and in the spotlight! 👏

It was brilliant to see Beth Usher sharing her story in the Mail on Sunday yesterday, helping bring much-needed awareness to these often misunderstood or lesser-known conditions.

Every story shared helps more people feel seen, heard and understood. We will keep pushing for greater recognition and understanding, both in the media and beyond.

A huge thank you to Beth for using her voice to make a difference 💚

If you care about someone, take the time to learn about their condition and ask them about their experience. It really can make a difference 💚
