07/25/2011 mj santilli 11

Casey Abrams‘ run on American Idol season 10 was nearly derailed when a flare-up of his Ulcerative Colitis sent him to the hospital. He missed a results show, a few functions and Ford commercials, but thankfully, after treatment (which included blood transfusions) he got things under control and was able to compete all the way to 6th place.

Now, Casey is set to launch a nationwide contest to raise awareness about inflammatory bowel disease. US citizens, age eighteen and older who are diagnosed with UC or Crohn’s disease, are encouraged to submit their story showcasing how they’ve been able to pursue their dreams despite their disease now through August 26, 2011 at www.IBDIcons.com.

Stefano Langone is hard at work in Los Angeles, networking networking networking, hoping to make an album that is a cross between Stevie Wonder and John Legend. He feels he did really well on Idol, despite not being represented very well on air.
