Our Story
Athletes vs. Crohn’s & Colitis was founded in January of 2017 by Larry Nance Jr. and Noah Weber. Both Larry and Noah were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease during their adolescent years, both were aspiring athletes and both sought mentors with Crohn’s disease who reached their athletic potential.
Together they hope to connect young people afflicted with Crohn’s and colitis to athletes to inspire and mentor.
