Pj Mechanical James Pappas
Son of the co-founder of PJ Mechanical, James Pappas served the CCFA (Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America’s) as the President of the foundation from 2004 to 2008. He and his wife Lisa became members of CCFA in 1995. The main reason for their involvement in CCFA was their only daughter Arianna, who was suffering from Crohn's disease at the age of 5. Crohn's disease is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). It is also knows as Regional enteritis or Granulomatous ileocolitis. Genes of a person, environmental factors, and the body’s over-reaction to normal bacteria in the intestines seem to play a role in causing the Crohn's disease.
