Suzanne was diagnosed with advanced stage colon cancer at age 36. She then underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment as well as permanent colostomy surgery in 2010 and is now cancer-free.

She's from Romford, United Kingdom and lives in Rayne, Essex with her husband Chris and their two boys. Her love of fashion lead to starting a blog in 2015 called, Gladrags and Bags where she writes about travel, clothing and shares tips on living with a colostomy. Suzanne’s motto is, “What makes you different makes you beautiful.”
