Hi everyone at Fittleworth, I want to say an enormous thank you for continuing to provide me and others with the stoma bags. Your work and care to keep me well and comfortable is unprecedented. I know you must be exhausted and scarred and so so busy I needed you to know I do not take you for granted and I feel very privilege that you care so much to help me stay well. I wish you all good health through these times and don't forget to look after yourselves first. Thank you so very much.”
