## Caption

3 years ago today I was forced to have my colon removed after suffering with Ulcerative Colitis for 8yrs. I wore an Ostomy bag while having 3 surgeries in 9 months and documented the journey in the hope of helping others. Today I am grateful to be alive & healthy as this surgery gave me my life back 💕 The scar on my stomach reminds just how precious life is and motivates me to follow my dreams. As I live my life with a JPouch, I will constantly be a voice to help find a cure for #IBD and spread awareness for others suffering, as I know first hand just how horrible  this disease is.
