Somewhat shameful plug: I did a TED talk on Crohn's!

On May 31st, I got invited by TED.com to Vancouver to be part of their global audition search for their TED 2013 line up. I talked about Crohn's - mostly about my journey, but why this disease needs awareness, and why it matters.

I thought I should share this with all my fellow Crohnie's. :)

Here it is!

Now here comes the shameful plug part:

The top rated talks go to California next year for the huge conference. I would get 18 minutes to talk about Crohn's. If you could sign up on ted.com and rate me from 1-5 on the side, you'd be doing me such a huge favour. Even if you just watch, it counts towards who makes it.

While part of this is "hey, I really want to do this", another part is completely selfless: I want people to know what we go through, and this is the first step.

thank you so much for your time.

Very nice! will definitely support your awareness efforts.

Bravo!! Very nice job!!! Thank you for speaking out on behalf of all of us.

You did an awesome job! You even brought tears to my eyes as I could relate to the surgery I had in Aug. 1982 that saved my life.
Good luck!

Great job!

Just watched and left a comment. Your courage and wisdom its inspiring. I wish you good luck on getting to the next round.
