This is a link to an amazing short video with Derick Fage speaking at the Global Forum on Incontinence. Derick is a well-known TV host in Canada. He does a daily show that runs for a couple of hours. And ... he has had bowel incontinence his entire life.

This is a very emotional speech that he gave in April of this year in Rome in front of 300 people. It moved just about everyone to tears. Some of the tears were because our hearts ached (yes, I was in the audience) and at the end from joy.

Derick is showing us how we break down the #stigma surrounding incontinence. This is how we live our lives to the fullest with incontinence.

Listen to his journey. He speaks with absolute candor, a marvelous sense of humor, and with passion.

This year as part of World Continence Week - let's be honest. Let's break the stigma surrounding incontinence - Let's get real!
