Jamie and his wife, Lisa, became involved in CCFA in 1995 when their first child and only daughter, Arianna, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at age five. “With an unlimited reservoir of energy and unshakable resolve, Jamie and Lisa fought on two fronts - against the cruelty of Crohn’s disease and for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s Long Island Chapter,” the group reports. “Everyone who knows the Pappases and their extended families knows of their commitment to CCFA.”
