HARBO Angie
Fe people in' the nationwide audience who
atched a fe years ago as San Diego Charger Rolf
Benirschke kicked a 29-yard field goal to give his
team an over ime victory for the divisional champi­
onship ere a are of the real drama taking plac .
F r more dramatic as Rolf's remarkable come­
back from an illne that nearly killed him-a come­
back that led to even further triumphs for one of the
ational Football Leagu 's premier kickers.
T 0 years before, at
a 25, he had b n
stricken ith severe ul­
c rati ve colitis, a bo el
dis ase that only a com­
plicated operation was
able to alleviate. It re­
quired removal of part of
his colon and 78 pints of
'" blood, and accept nee of
the terrifying kno ledge
that he might never play
gain .. .if he survived.
Sur vi ve he did, and
played ag in, until re­
currence of illness re­
quired another emergen­
cy op ration hen the
rest of his colon as
removed. Once more he
came back, ent on to
become his team's star
place icker again, and
climaxed his victory over
disease ith his famous
field goal.
Thanks to the proce­
dures that saved Rolf's
life and career and the
• development of ne ap­
pliances th t permit a
fully active life, thou-:
s nds of Americans ho
have ostomies every year
make similarly dramatic
comebacks. Ostomy sur­
gery, following the re­
rnov 1 of part or all of
the intestine, and the use
of an appliance to remove
aste, has given a ne
life to thousands of
people.
To encourage others
li e himself, and to help
honor all those ho
"come be," Rolf has
accepted the co-chairman­
ship of the ne ly formed
