CCFA A Great Legacy

CCFA co-founder Suzanne Rosenthal
and husband Irwin

It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news of our co-founder Suzanne Rosenthal's passing. Suzanne was a fearless, determined and courageous woman who turned her diagnosis of Crohn's disease in 1955 into a legacy that has gone on to benefit hundreds of thousands of people over the years. As a patient, volunteer, and activist, Suzanne was a tireless pioneer for patients living with IBD and other digestive diseases. She dedicated her life to helping other patients, and she is personally responsible for the creation of the various CCFA chapters nationwide.

No words can truly express our gratitude to Suzanne. We will proudly carry on her vision of raising awareness and finding cures. I invite you to read more about Suzanne's legacy here.

Thank you,

Richard J. Geswell
President
