So a few months ago I contacted ITV to nominate #getyourbellyout for a fundraising award on Pride of Britain. In all honesty, I completely forgot I'd done it; the odd time I did remember I just thought that the producers had already chosen their finalists. That was until I received a phone call of a lovely lady telling me that #getyourbellyout were Midlands finalists and she wanted a camera crew to come and film me giving the reasons I had put in the email.
That's when panic hit because I can't remember what I wrote in the bloody email.
But I don't need to remember - because I KNOW what that group, which was created by 4 inspiring women, has done for me and thousands of people worldwide.
It's created amazing friendships, relationships and, most of all, one big family. It's a place where all of us feel we have a place in this world.
Life is so difficult when every day is a struggle to get out of bed...and some days you don't even feel like there's point in existing anymore.
We turn pain into laughter, we can make jokes about us pooing our pants, you take a selfie feeling ugly due to steroids or fatigue and dozens of people will join in.
No matter what, it's so hard to feel alone with the belly family by your side.
It's incredible the journey this family has made, a family that expands each and every day.
If this group win or not...
You will always be winners to me.
