Guts & Glory: Find a Cure for Colitis

For over three years I suffered from a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis. The support of my family, friends, co-workers, clients, associates and acquaintances was the blessing that helped me survive. I’m proud to say that as a result of my illness I’m a stronger and better man.

That said, I would never wish this upon anyone (no matter what the silver lining may be). So I’m even prouder to announce that this year my wife, Katharine Tapley, will be participating in the New England Guts & Glory Walk to raise funds and find a cure for Colitis.

Please find out more about the walk or make a donation to support Kate via the links below. She’s walking with our baby in the stroller and, as in the past, I’m sure she’ll have wonderful notes and photos to share after the event!

Thank you on behalf of myself, everyone else suffering from this disease and their friends, family, and loved ones who must sit by as they suffer. Your support will make a real difference in the lives of thousands.

    Best of luck - I let my colitis stop me from doing many things at the start - but no more - since the change of mood I have walked the camino de santiago rwice all 780km of it and I felt great.

    Thanks Leslie!

    I’ve found that with a combination of lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), medication, and surgery I’m doing pretty well these days. Not 780km-walk-good yet, though — you’ve given me something to strive for!

    Be well,

    -Eric
