I have chosen the Colostomy Asoociation as my charity because they have been really supportive throughout these last few months with Neville (my stoma!). It has been a steep learning curve managing Neville's habits and tantrums ;) and if I have any questions or just want to chat with people in a similar situation, the Colostomy Association has been there to advise.

Climbing Mount Snowdon will be a physical and personal challenge for me. I have suffered from M.E. and Crohn's disease from the age of 11. Up until recently I have not been able to do any physical activity or sport so as a result I am extremely unfit. I was also house-bound with restricting and horrid symptoms due to scarring from Crohn's - last year before my Stoma operation I decided I needed a goal to focus on. I knew that after I had my Stoma surgery I would get fit and climb Snowdon with my family and my dog Maizy - who have supported me through some very tough times. I don't think there will be a dry eye among us when I reach the top of Snowdon! It will be a great moment and even greater knowing I have raised some money for a deserving charity. Bring on 2012!!

Thank you for reading and donating. xxxx
