Former Youngstown State University Head Baseball Coach and Boardman resident Mike Florak is a nominee for the National Great Comebacks Award. The award is presented to a person who has survived Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (the two forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD), or intestinal cancer, and has gone on to be an example to others that life continues after diagnosis.
The award is sponsored by the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) and ConvaTec, a Bristol--Meyers Squibb company. The Great Comebacks Program was founded 20 years ago by former NFL player Rolf Benirschke. Benirschke himself is a survivor of a severe case of ulcerative colitis. He endured several surgeries and came back to play most of his career in the NFL after being diagnosed.
