This episode is full of high's and low's- No pun intended. You will understand why when you tune in and hear this story!!

Being diagnosed and suffering with multiple serious life-threatening health conditions Patrick shares his journey through the very lows of his life. IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) Crohn's, Cancer, and many other health conditions.

Surgery after surgery put his body in a very weak state. He had so many within a 10 year period that his life changed. Living with an ostomy has not slowed him down in finding his mission. This mission is to share and bring awareness about Crohn's disease, ostomies and living with a chronic health issue.

Patrick found his peace and a mission at high elevations. Climbing several summits and creating a team of athletes sharing similar health issues. "THE OSTOMY ATHLETE" is fitting as I see pictures of him climbing summits, glaciers and tenting on a mountains edge.

His story is a peak full of determination, stamina, courage and strength. . I encourage you to read more about "The Ostomy Athlete" on his website

Today we are releasing this episode of The Chronic Truth Podcast featuring Thomas Silvera. In honor and memory of his son Elijah. Today January 16, 2025, would have been Elijah's birthday. We want to honor Elijah and his family's story with this very touching and heartfelt episode.

Thomas shares his journey with severe allergies, asthma as a child into adulthood. Then having two sons who also are diagnosed with severe allergies. He shares that one moment in time changed his whole families lives with the loss of their son Elijah, to negligence of a day care center who was ensuring his allergies would be handled with upmost care. Tragically, this was not the case. Thomas and his family had to face the loss of their precious son. He shares that the stress of this loss began over time to affect his own health in a critical way.

Thomas and his family began advocating for legislative laws to be passed that would help protect other children's lives in schools and daycares when severe allergies are present.

During the interview, behind Thomas was a wall of pictures of Elijah and the 6 state laws that have been passed in honor of Elijah. Thomas shares more work is needed to be done so that ALL states have passed laws protecting our children.

In honor of Elijah's memory and birthday we ask that you please donate to his foundation

www.elijahalavifoundation.org

Let's help them continue to bring awareness and attention to our government by contributing to this foundation.
