My brother, Malio Silvestrone, died three years ago after suffering with Crohn's Disease for thirty-eight years. He bravely battled the disease until his kidneys failed and he had to go on kidney dialysis for the last four years of his life. At the time he contracted the disease in 1970, it was difficult to diagnose and because of this, the doctors did not discover what it was until ten years later. Unfortunately by that time the disease had spread throughout his intestinal tract. He had a very difficult life living with Crohn's but, as I heard Rob Hill say on Global News this morning, his life was much more than just the disease he battled against. I am very proud of him and all that he accomplished in his life even though he suffered so much. Thank you all for what you are doing to alleviate this terrible disease and help those who are living with it today. I wish Mal had gotten to meet your team of climbers, but I am glad that the research and fight against Crohn's is progressively working towards a cure for the disease and that so many people with it are benefiting from these treatments. Keep up the fight! Jeannine Silvestrone I was so encouraged to hear about what this climbing group did in the name of helping those with Crohn’s Disease and other intestinal diseases.
