Emma Lawton created the concept “three-six-fives” based on the idea that people living with a long-term health condition 365 days out of a year can offer unique support and information to others who may be experiencing similar circumstances. Threesixfives.com will be a peer led website to help those with health conditions find support through video blogs. This website will be a collaborative vlog effort of patients, carers, family, clinicians, researchers, etc. Support for this project is complete and you can learn more here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/threesixfives
