Sisters walking 1 million for Colostomy UK

For those of you who don't know us my son Cody was born in October 2021 with Vacterl syndrome. Part of his condition was that he was born with anorectal malformation and at 2 days old underwent a 5 and a half hour surgery for a stoma. Up until this point I had never heard of a stoma and had no idea what having one would involve. The stoma nurses in the Royal Victoria hospital have been amazing and gave us all the information we needed to learn what life with a stoma was like.

On 5th October it is stoma awareness day and along with my sisters we would like to raise money for Colostomy UK by walking 1 million steps in the month of October. Any donations will be greatly appreciated and will all go towards Colostomy UK.
