I'm taking part in Step Up For Stomas - The 39 Challenge to raise funds for Colostomy UK, because every 39 minutes someone in the UK has stoma surgery. The funds you donate will help them to better support every one who needs them.  I've had a colostomy for 12 years and having a stoma doesn't prevent me from participating in new physical challenges.  I want to inspire fellow ostomates that with the support of charities like Colostomy UK, friends and family friends, challenges like this can be attempted.  I can't wait to begin this arduous feat  :-)
