In partnership with Ruils Independent Living
"As the founder of Chronically Marvellous, I am driven by my own personal experience of being denied essential adaptations due to outward appearances, I battle daily with Systemic Lupus and Dilated Cardiomyopathy with Heart failure. I also struggle with poTS and EDS. Despite all of this, I was left without any assistance for almost three years. My mission is to ensure that no one else has to suffer the way that I did, by advocating for equal access, and providing life-changing support to those in need." .
" "Being housebound is not easy; I never know how I am going to feel from day to day. What I do know, is that my conditions have progressed, and there are more bad days than good days. Chronically Marvellous has given me a purpose to keep going." "
