  • My journey as a D1 collegiate rugby player navigating a life changing illness and surgery, and returning to full contact sports. IBD challenged my body and mind in ways that I never expected, but through this experience I have proved to myself physical challenges like losing my colon and using an ostomy bag are not life, or sports, ending. I hope my story will help others faced with similar circumstances to lean-in and know life can again be good.

      How has life been without a colon? I’m thinking about getting the surgery.

    I’m 21 and I’ve had Crohn’s disease for 3 years now. It really is such a debilitating disease. I’m so happy that you were able to go on and play rugby again. I’m having really rough days so I think I’m gonna consider surgery
