Famous People Who Have Ostomies

This topic is about finding inspiration and encouragement from famous people who live with ostomies. It highlights how these individuals continue to lead active and successful lives, even in demanding fields like sports and entertainment. Here are some key points and advice shared:

1. A shared article lists well-known athletes, entertainers, and public figures who have ostomies and continue to live active lives. This information is found to be motivating for many.

2. Former NFL place-kicker Rolf Benirschke, who played for the San Diego Chargers, has been a spokesperson for the United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA.org). He encourages people with ostomies by saying they "can do anything we want to."

3. Seeing professional football players with ostomies reinforces the idea that having an ostomy does not prevent participation in even the most physically demanding contact sports.

4. There are ostomy protectors available that athletes use to shield their stoma from impact. These protectors are effective and allow individuals to engage in high-impact activities like football.

5. The United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA.org) is a valuable resource for advocacy and inspirational stories for those living with an ostomy.
