In a special episode, Former England Rugby Captain Lewis Moody, who lives with ulcerative colitis, meets 15-year-old Jake. Jake has suffered with bowel problems since birth. Long hospital stays meant he missed childhood experiences and struggled in school. ERIC helped his family throughout their journey to ileostomy surgery, and beyond. He’s now using his experiences to help others as part of ERIC's Christmas Appeal this year.
