Just putting this out there for unawares. One of my favourite sportsmen who plays for my team and also has UC. He has just made his comeback after a few years out because of a severe form of the disease and is playing at the highest level of football (soccer).
Just shows that if you keep fighting you can still achieve your dreams and live life to the full despite UC
