Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I met Gill Castle a few years ago at our local Tri club and we did a half Ironman together, one of her earliest fundraising challenges! Last year when she swam the channel to raise money for her amazing charity, I was so glad to be able to help publicise her swim through the podcast The Stoma Swimmer. I’ve learnt so much from Gill about the challenges of living with a stoma in any country but particularly in the developing world. The aim of this trip is to build a new wing at a hospital in Kenya to help make the lives of some of the poorest, most vulnerable women in the world a bit better and give them hope. And by donating you’d also be giving me motivation to be as strong and as fit as I possibly can be to get to the top!!

Thank you so much
