Peterborough woman writes book on learning to live with chronic illness
Cam Auxer of Peterborough found a way to find the best in her life by writing and connecting with others, who like her live with chronic illness. She started blogging about her experiences, a form of therapy in itself for her. But the real comfort she found was being able to connect with people. The experience was so critical to her, she decided to start her own website with resources for people with chronic illness, called Pajama Daze – and though she didn’t know it at the time, the website would soon become the inspiration for a much bigger project. The profits from the book go to support autoimmune disease research at the Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington.
