<div>Hello...can you help us?<br />We are the Stoma Squad otherwise known as Jody, Catherine, Elizabeth,Anna,Jan, Kayleigh, Jeanette, Casey, Gaynor and Emily.<br /><br />We are on a mission to raise awareness of stomas and raise much needed funding for colostomy uk.<br /><br />People may have a stoma for many reasons. MS, IBD, Cancer and trauma are just a few to mention. People of all ages from babies to elderly may need a stoma....they may be part of a planned surgery or be undertaken in an emergency which has proved to be life saving.<br /><br />They aren't all sparkles and rainbows, but they are real life savers. <br /><br />Since having our stomas we have come to  realise how much stigma is around them, how many people hate them and beleive their life has ended because they have a bag, when in reality, they give you a new beginning.<br /><br />But the Stoma Squad are trying to change that! We have come together from different parts of the UK to unite and break the stigma! <br />We want people to see the beauty in their bodies, regardless of stretch marks, scars or stomas! We want to empower others. If we can change the perception of having a stoma for just one person, we will be happy! We're all beautiful badass warriors!! We just poop different! <br /><br />To raise awareness the Stoma Squad will be coming together from around the uk on 30th November to undertake a photo shoot showing our stoma bags out for the world to see! <br /><br />We have had such a great response already - you'll be surprised what a bunch of women who support each other can achieve! <br />Please join in and support us in our challenge.<br />We would be grateful for your donations to Colostomy UK<br />With many thanks<br />The Stoma Squad
