Wayne Connell

Wayne Connell is the Founder of the Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA). His journey into the world of caregiving began over thirty years ago when he met his wife, Sherri, who was already living with devastating, invisible conditions, including Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Late-Chronic Lyme Disease.

As a devoted husband caregiving for his wife, Wayne quickly realized how lonely and isolating it can be when a loved one lives with debilitating pain or illness, yet appears fine on the outside. Driven by a desire to help family and friends truly understand these invisible battles, Wayne and Sherri wrote But You LOOK Good together, drawing straight from their own personal experiences and lessons.

What started as a personal mission to support his wife quickly grew into a global outreach. Through IDA, Wayne has dedicated his life to providing encouragement, education, and connection for millions of people navigating invisible disabilities. Combining his professional background in media and technology with a lighthearted, practical approach, Wayne is a passionate advocate, speaker, and author committed to helping the world see with its heart.
