I am honoured to be participating in Colostomy UK's annual Step Up for Stomas, Active April 2026! This inspiring sporting event, taking place on 1 April 2026, brings together individuals and teams united by a common goal: to raise awareness and support for those living with stomas.

Living with a stoma can be challenging, and many people face physical and emotional hurdles every day. By joining this event, I hope to advocate for greater understanding and improved resources for the stoma community. Your support can make a real difference in enhancing lives through vital services and education.

I have set myself a personal challenge of completing 55,000 steps a week in the month of April. Since my Stoma surgery back in 2022 I have struggled to regain my fitness so I would like to use this opportunity to start my journey back to fitness along with raising much needed awareness for the stoma community.

Together, we can empower those affected by stomas and celebrate their strength. Thank you for standing with us during Step Up for Stomas, Active April 2026!
