The Stoma Swimmer

After moving back to Northumberland, Gill gets stronger and starts exploring exactly what is possible with a stoma; training as a life guard before conquering her fear of the sea. The Three Peaks Challenge is next, followed by a skydive and an endurance triathlon. Gill’s first experience of speaking about her injuries in public provokes an unexpected response.
