The major health condition I sail with
I’ve been living without a large intestine for the past two years and had Ulcerative Colitis for 10 years before that. This condition has been a real struggle but doesn’t stop me from doing the things I want to do. Ive sailed solo across the ocean, dived with sharks, backpacked through the jungle, climbed giant mountains, worked in a foreign country, and competed in an international paragliding competition all without a colon.
