This is a cause that’s really close to my heart. Who knows where my mum would be if it wasn’t for all of the research that has already been done? If we can get funding for more research, then maybe others don’t need to go through what mum has.”
Alisha, an assistant teacher at Dalmarnock Primary School, said: “The shunt managed to drain the fluid, but a few days later it had filled up again, so they operated on her again to fit a second shunt. Since the first operation she had several setbacks leading to another 10 operations between then and September 2010.”
