On May 1st, 1989 Sue London stared blankly at the ceiling of her doctor's office thinking, "Why me?" Sue had just been told she had Crohn's disease. Crohn's is a chronic intestinal disorder, which causes severe abdominal pain, cramping, fatigue and diarrhea.

Surgery soon followed to remove fistulas. She was told that a colostomy was a likely step. Sue fought back, seeking out alternative therapy to help her cope with the disease. When she became pregnant with her second child, Sue was told it was unlikely she could deliver the baby she was carrying. The disease had flared up and her health was in grave danger. In March of 1993, Sue delivered a healthy baby girl and the disease went into remission.

In 1996 Sue's illness flared up again and her intestine burst. She was rushed to hospital and doctor's predicted that she was just 30 minutes from death. Fortunately, a talented surgeon was able to act quickly and save her life. Following this dramatic event, Sue began to take pro-active steps to health and happiness. Faced with a giant STOP SIGN, Sue made the left turn of a lifetime, adopted a positive outlook and went on to soar above it all!
