He kept that a secret, but when he died last year, he left a large bequest to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, supporting the search for better treatments and support for people like him. Don't feel you need to hide your Crohn's or Colitis. Go to spillyourguts.org to learn. This year, over 50,000 law enforcement officers have been assaulted while on duty. It could have been it for me.
