CariDee English, recent winner of the Fox TV show America’s Next Top Model, and someone who has had psoriasis since childhood, has agreed to work with the National Psoriasis Foundation to help raise awareness of the disease. It is not clear if it is a paid position.
This is great news. For a disease with stigma (wrongly) attached to it, it can’t hurt to have a gorgeous supermodel as a public face of our disease. She is also a testament to hanging in there and searching for a treatment that works for you. Her current treatment, reportedly a biologic therapy, is certainly working for her.
We hope she’ll work with us, too….
Here’s a video of CariDee discussing her psoriasis and her ANTM victory.
