Ted Vosk crossing a marathon finish line

;

Ted Vosk finds his way back to the activities he enjoys after his second ostomy surgery.

He started by walking 50 yards down the sidewalk in front of his house. Each day he went a little further, building strength and confidence one step at a time. And it worked. Six months after surgery, Ted ran two half-marathons on back-to-back weekends for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. He also returned to the courtroom, picking up his practice as a trial and appellate attorney.
