Draw My Life with Crohn’s Perianal Fistulas: Samantha and Cerys’ Story

Samantha was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2000, just after the birth of her daughter Cerys. She was later diagnosed with Crohn’s perianal fistulas (CPF). This animation explores their relationship and journey with CPF, the misconceptions they have faced, and the advice they have for other people living with CPF. While this video is based on the words of Samantha and Cerys, voice actors have been used to bring their words to life. This video is part of a series initiated and funded by Takeda about people living with CPF.
