Ostomate to Raise Awareness at Indiana Car Show! 

Robert Steffens, who has had IBD since the age of 15 and was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 40, has had an ileostomy since April 18, 2020. Although he was scared to have ostomy surgery, he realized that not only did it save his life, but it gave him his life back and he is no longer suffering.  Robert wants to bring awareness and help to reduce the stigma surrounding living with an ostomy and help to fundraise on behalf of UOAA.

Robert will have a booth at a fun and popular Car Show – Tires-N-Tacos, hosted by Fatt Boyz Car Club. The car show will be held at Bosak Ford Dealership, 244 Melton Roard in Chesterton, Indiana on Friday May 2, 2025 from 6 to 10 PM.  So if you enjoy car shows and you’ll be in the area, please stop by Robert’s booth and help him to raise awareness and support UOAA’s programs and services.
