As a young person, I found information on the disease too complicated, too medical or too dumbed down. So I wrote and designed a funky colourful leaflet called Is Kissing Gluten Free? and contacted Coeliac UK and local printers. I also organised a coeliac awareness day.
Last year I was CosmoGIRL! of the Year.
This year I have just received a You and Your Community Millennium Award from the Wales Council for Voluntary Action.
