Hi, my name is Phodi and this September I am running 5 marathons in 5 days.

I am doing this in support of my mum, who has been fighting for her life for the last 17 years and has recently been through her 9th major bowel surgery as a result of stage 4 cancer and has now been left with a permanent Ileostomy.

We want to raise awareness to post bowel surgery care, and what it means to live with these circumstances.

In regards to the challenge, before taking part in this training I had never ran more than 10km, so doing 130 miles over 5 days will prove difficult.

Please share and support where you can.
