I am now medicated and in remission, but Crohn’s Disease negatively affected my academic performance. I will use my position in the Cancer Awareness non-profit to raise awareness for my illness and show that I am growing from that.

What you have achieved despite your illness is amazing. As for mentioning your illness and growth from that in your essay, it only makes sense if it’s part of your story in what you want to do in life & college. The essay is not a biography or a place to excuse any shortcomings in your application.
