Crohn’s Disease

“I was a totally different person before [experiencing fistulizing Crohn's. It taught me meaning and purpose. It gave me the desire to move the needle on how people are treated in the health care system.”

“I knew I had to treat my condition as a part of me and accept it if I wanted to live a life not defined by my disease. Crohn's disease has put me through a lot of challenges and made me the strong and resilient person I am today because it is a part of me.”
