My Story
“Are you going to talk about your bum again?” Yes. Yes I am. Because it could be IBS, or IBD, or piles. Or it might be bowel cancer. I was diagnosed in May 2024 at 36 years old. I have been chatting to people about my bum habits since. I am receiving great care from the NHS here in Cornwall, have a brilliant team who keep the laughs and the support flowing. I find it quite difficult to share the hard parts of this journey but, believe me, there are lots. Bowel Babe is working hard to change that. To celebrate my birthday this year, I want to raise some money to help them along. I’d like to host a get together later in the year, showcasing all my lovely friends crafty skills, at our local community hub The Grow Box Cafe. In the meantime please give generously to this fundraiser if you can. I’ve always believed in giving more than you take, and as a birthday gift a few quid in here would be smashing.
