Tell your story

from MICI
and malnutrition!

Your voice can help
other patients like you

On the occasion of World Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease Day 2025, LIONHEALTH launches the Tell Your Story campaign to give a voice to all patients with histories of malnutrition and raise awareness of the importance of nutrition screening.

THE STAGES OF THE PROJECT

The 10 best stories that will be selected will be collected within a book (print/digital) published on the occasion of World MICI Day 2026.

Giulia, a patient with MICI since 2016 and a LIONHEALTH testimonial, was the first patient to tell her story. Watch the full video HERE

What is the project about?

The Tell Your Story project aims to engage patients with MICI to tell about their experience with respect to nutrition and malnutrition, and raise awareness of the importance of screening as the first step of diagnosis.

The project targets all people living with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (MICI) and related malnutrition.

The aim is to inspire other patients and make them realize that you are not alone, but that you can improve your condition.
