Story
In a moment of insanity, in October, after spending 6 weeks
in hospital over the course of summer, I signed up for the London Marathon.
In a further moment of insanity, after getting a place, despite only being able
to run for 30 seconds, I decided I was going to do it.
Not thinking that was enough, I also decided in mid-January to give up
chocolate until the marathon.
So on 23rd April I will be running the London Marathon for Fowler’s
Syndrome UK.
FSUK is a charity very close to my heart as I myself suffer from Fowler’s Syndrome.
In 2013 at the age of 19 my life changed overnight, as my bladder stopped working. After 6 years of suffering with pain, spasms and constant infections my Fowler’s lead to me having my bladder removed and a Urostomy Stoma formed in 2019
Fowler’s Syndrome is a rare condition affecting only 1 in
500,000 and only women. It is a urethral sphincter dysfunction that causes urinary retention. Fowler’s can cause debilitating issues such as spasms, infections and pain.
