Claire Chitham begins book tour in New Zealand

Good For You author and “Shortland Street” actress Claire Chitham has begun her book tour in New Zealand.

Chitham was one of an estimated 15,000 New Zealanders suffering from Crohn's disease, which causes painful inflammation of the digestive tract.

Twenty years later, Chitham has partnered with journalist Kylie Bailey to write a book about how she has learned to stay on top of her health, and she will be stopping at Paige's Book Gallery for a release event next week.
