CHAMPIONS OF DISCOVERY - Key Persons

Ryan Pearlman was 15 when he was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, a debilitating and painful autoimmune disorder that afflicts more than 200,000 children and 800,000 adults in the United States alone. Today, the charity he and his sister, Morgan, founded, Champions of Discovery, is creating awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, working to find better treatments and making those treatments available to all families with children who suffer from Pediatric IBD and Crohn's Disease.
