her in training. gill is unstoppable. here we are at ben nevis. everyone should do this. whoa! flip! 12 years ago, she was so badly injured during the birth of her son that she had to have a stoma fitted. it diverts her bowel to a bag on her abdomen. but in just over a week's time, she's aiming to become the first woman with a stoma to swim the channel. there's a lot of people with stomas, are really, really fearful to be active and to go out there and to do things. they think they're going to bejudged by people, particularly swimming. a lot of people won't go to their local pool. and this is kind of like my really in—your—face way of saying, if i can swim the channel, you can go to your local pool. but really, ultimately, my everything is to show my son that his birth didn't ruin my life.
