Outside Ani’s way
My name is Ani Patas. I am chronically ill and have a hidden disability. My diagnoses are Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. My outdoor experience started at a young age and was always something my Mum encouraged. I’m fortunate enough to have a parent who wanted me to enjoy the outdoors and sports.
About Outside: Our Way
My name is Ani. I have multiple chronic illnesses and I am disabled. That probably brings an image to your mind of what it means to be ‘disabled’, But when you look up the definition of ‘disability’ you’ll find various ways you can categorise it - as well as plenty of opinions about what it means to be disabled.
