Amy, who is an ambassador for the charity and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when she was 19 years old, organised a book reading at her dance academy in Cradley Heath to help educate the children about her condition and to answer any questions they had about her disease.

Meet our Crohn's and Colitis cats, created with illustrator Thomas Wolfe who lives with Crohn's Disease himself, uses cats as a metaphor for looking after your disease. The story is available as a book and an animation, and the book can be personalised as the reader decides whether the characters, Riley and Owen, have either Crohn's, Colitis or IBD Unclassified, depending on their own circumstances.

Amy makes a cameo appearance in the book. The main character Riley sees Amy on television talking about her Crohn's, inspiring the courage to talk about their condition with their friends and to reach for their dreams.

Through age appropriate, relatable information, this new resource aims to empower children to make the right choices for themselves as well as learning better self-care as there is currently no resource that meets this need. The story is available for free from Crohn's & Colitis UK and is for children aged 7-11 living with Crohn's or Colitis themselves, or who have a parent or family member living with the disease.
