Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


So this might not go down the way I want it to but it's worth a shot anyway. Anyone who knows me will know that I suffer with a bowel condition called Ulcerative Colitis.... It's an inflammatory bowel disease and there is currently no cure.

I've suffered for 3 years now and it's changed my life completely. It's knocked my confidence but I'm starting to get it back, other suffers I've got to know have have had to have operations on their bowel and have their bowel removed resulting in them having scars and ileostomy or colostomy bags. If they can show their scars and bags off why should we be afraid to some some of ours less?

I'm part of a few support groups on Facebook and the pure courage and strength people show is amazing. Tonight in my own support group I decided to post a selfie... Not just cause I love selfies haha, because I thought you know what... Let's raise some money. The charity Crohns and Colitis UK do some great work and they can always use to help fundraising. I'm not asking you for anything, if you want to post a selfie and donate to an amazing cause well thank you. If you can share this post, even better.

Yeah I'm sat on the toilet in one of these selfies. We all use it, I think we all hate something about our bodies. Hopefully this helps people who are insecure about their bodies or themselves.

I'm scared of posting my selfies but hey you're only on this earth once right?
