My Invisible Life - Not For Profit storytelling community about living with invisible illness. Started in January 2014, MIL strives to bring readers a broad, enriching and valuable range of personal stories about illness from around the world. These are stories that are inspirational, heartfelt, motivational and authentic.

There are many stories online about people’s experiences living with illness, but these are usually posted within the confines of their own illness community. MIL brings us all together – large and small communities, those who live with illness directly, family and friends and the broader community.

Through compelling and invigorating storytelling, MIL will:

- Assist people in our community with chronic illness in feeling less isolated, more empowered and more connected to their world. - Provide a vehicle for those with illness, family and friends to speak out about their experiences. - Enable the wider community to grow their understanding and appreciation what it is like to live with a challenging health condition – be it visible or invisible.

My Invisible Life was inspired by a friendship between two women living in Sydney, Australia – one has Motor Neurone Disease and the other Multiple Sclerosis. You can read their story here.

Community Support groups around the world can support MIL by encouraging their communities to tell their stories. Find out more here
