Shed suffered a fistula a hole between her rectum and hervagina and a fourth degree tear which couldnt be repaired. So she had to have her bowel diverted out onto her abdomen, creating a permanent stoma. Knowing how hard it was to come to terms with this massive life change, she wanted to let others see it couldnt stop herfrom doing anything.

Shivers i dont want to dwell all the time on what happened in the past. I also want to show people whats possible moving forward. Screams morning, everybody here we are at ben nevis. And thats really important, to give people
