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.
