Guest Speaker:
Stealth Belt Vice president Collin Jarvis
Stealth Belt is committed to providing quality products and service to everyone who has an ostomy.
Collin is its leading spokesperson within the ostomy community for good reason. He’s been such a satisfied customer since his own
ileostomy in 2014 that he joined the company!
Last year, this former track star turned marathoner finished third overall in the 2019 Edmonton Marathon, dashing his doctors’ much dimmer prognosis. If Collin can talk Guinness World Records into making it a category, his amazing 2:27:30 minute finish could well be the fastest marathon run by an ostomate.
Come learn more about Stealth Belt from this inspirational leader all the way from California.
