NHL Players Who Give Back
Theoren (Theo) Fleury was a feisty hockey player. He played in seven All-Star games throughout his career. Now retired from the sport, Fleury spends time raising money for charities like the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada. In addition to raising funds for research on Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the Crohn’s and Colitis foundation of Canada is committed to promoting awareness and providing education on irritable bowel disease.
