    Recently, Claire started a new project on YouTube to show people what it’s really like to be live with an illness. She wants the world to be educated, so that we don’t automatically treat someone with an illness with pity, but rather like any other person we know. We love that Claire is using the web for such a great thing, because people tend to shy away from taking about illnesses, especially when they’re affecting younger people.

    Claire has also started doing episode-by-episode reviews of FOX’s new show that revolves around young people spending their lives in hospitals. She wants people to really know what living with an illness is like, so she points out some things technically that the show gets wrong. We love that she doesn’t just pick apart the show, but tells us why these things are wrong so we can better understand what being hospitalized for prolonged periods of time is like.
