I'm raising £2,000 for Ostomy Life CIC and Get Your Belly Out CIC, both of which are close to my heart.

I founded Ostomy Life to provide support and encouragement to others to get outside and active following stoma surgery. So many ostomates fear swimming or going outside, that I wish to host some 'Back to Swimming' and 'Back Walking' events, where I can personally help people adjust to having their stoma and have the confidence to embrace activity.

Get Your Belly Out CIC has been a lifeline for people whose lives have been affected by IBD – building community, creating projects, delivering services, providing education and raising awareness.

These two organisations are run voluntarily to support others and rely on donations for us to raise the voice for others. Your donations will go a long way to delivering our services.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, I will withdraw funds directly. It's the most efficient way to donate and saves time and costs.
