Meet Erron J. Maxey!

Send us Fan MailThis week we talked to Erron J. Maxey! Erron is a retired International Professional Basketball Player and now a banker. He had his first Crohn's flare when he was traveling in Columbia for his job and that started a pretty wild ride to get diagnosed and to find him best treatment options. We talked to him about what it was like to live in many different countries while coping with his disease and what it was like to train and eat to compete at an elite level with Crohn's.. We also discussed how it can seem like men are reticent about talking about their health issues and especially their mental health. We also talked about this volunteer activities with The Color of Crohn's and Chronic Illness (Aka COCCI).  It was so fun to talk to Erron and we just scratched the surface!
