I want you to meet McCoy and Desmon Rowley, brother and sister.
They both suffer from Crohn's disease.
Desmon is also battling Leukemia at this time.
(Desmon is on the left, McCoy top right and their younger brother bottom right)
has been created to help raise funds for Crohn's disease awareness and research. They are also committed to raise funds for Leukemia research and immune compromised services.
A portion of the charity's proceeds will also be given to help Crohn's and Leukemia patients pay medical bills.
Here is a little more of their story from the website.
Desmon was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease 4 years ago. She has had a long hard battle with Crohn’s and has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia. She has Crohn’s throughout her GI and has taken many medications, and has had many surgeries to help put her in remission. Unfortunately they have all failed, forcing her to battle both, Crohn’s and Leukemia at this time.
A couple of weeks after Desmon started Chemotherapy her brother McCoy was taken to the Emergency Room at the SLC Primary Children’s Hospital where Desmon was having Chemotherapy. There he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. My sister, their mother, got the call from the ER just downstairs from where she had been staying with Desmon. This was another mountain the family has been asked to climb and they not only have done it with great courage, but also with grace.
