Each person brings a unique history and outlook to their diagnosis journey, and there is so much value in sharing your lived experience and insights with others.

By sharing your story, you’ll be empowering others living with a similar diagnosis and/or lifestyle and helping IDFA continue to highlight the variety, diversity, and vibrancy of our IDFA community.
