Caroline Bramwell motivates and inspires
A self-confessed couch potato, Caroline Bramwell turned to sport after having her large intestine and bowel removed and had to live with a permanent ileostomy as a result of having Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease. Dispelling the medical profession’s ‘you can’t do that’ attitude Caroline has completed two 24hr cycle events (London to Paris and Newcastle to London), and now competes in all triathlon distances up to full Ironman.
With her determination to prove that life can be good with a stoma bag, her story is the epitome of the self-belief that anything is possible and she has been inspiring others around the world.
She was voted Inspirational Woman of the Year in the Venus Awards for the South West, and was voted one of the UK’s Top 10 Female Entrepreneurs by Cosmopolitan magazine, for the work she does as a PR & Marketing advisor and mentor to businesses large and small. A qualified marketer with a Diploma in Marketing through the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Caroline has been providing PR and marketing support to businesses for over 30 years. She is also a SFEDI accredited business mentor through the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs.
When she’s not wearing Lycra, Caroline often delivers talks and workshops on all areas of PR, marketing and events. She also delivers inspirational talks through online platforms, to packed conferences, schools and even the Police Force. She is a published author and inspirational speaker in her own right as well. Her autobiography ‘Loo Rolls to Lycra: The Ironman Dreams of an IBD Sufferer’ was published in 2018.
You will also find Caroline featured in ‘Fearless: Adventures with Extraordinary Women’ the new book by former BBC Breakfast Presenter, Louise Minchin, who approached Caroline to have an adventure with her.
