I just want to thank everyone who sponsored me. Unfortunately I made it to 57 miles and not 100.
My feet broke out very early into the race and I am actually so made up to make it that far.
I will be back next year to complete the 100.. but absolutely loved all of my training its been amazing..
Loved all the coverage to help raise awareness for patients with stomas. And to continue to end stigma x

My story
I have a stoma and enjoy taking part in many Ultra Marathons over the years.
I am taking part in my first 100 mile Ultra marathon 26th September 2026, which is the GB Ultra Cheshire Ring.
Plus many more events over the year.
I am raising funds for the wonderful Mid Cheshire Hospital Stoma nurse and care team. Funds raised will help to purchase equipment, to educate staff and patients in the hospital and community.
I admire all the work the team does to help patients. I too have a stoma and I am a patient still so I appreciate and value all the care.
I started running ultras and marathons after stoma surgery 7 years ago. I love it so much and having stoma surgery liberated me from years of pain living with Crohn's Disease.
I am also a newly qualified nurse on the surgical ward at Leighton Hospital.
And I have previously volunteered and supported Colostomy UK and Crohn's and Colitis UK.
I want to share that life does not end with a Crohn's Disease and a stoma, and to keep positive, also combating stigma and continue to raise awareness.
