Cambuslang mum-of-two Jennifer Mellin, 35, is set to speak at Holyrood next month to raise awareness for Poland Syndrome.
A Cambuslang mum has shared her fears for her son's future after he was diagnosed with a rare condition which has left him with a missing chest muscle and a webbed hand.
It is believed that 1 in 30,000 people in the UK suffer with the condition, however, many cases go undiagnosed due to the rarity of the condition.Jennifer, 35, told Glasgow Live: "When Finlay was born everything seemed fine. Due to the rarity of the condition it is unclear what real impact it could have on the one-year-old as he grows up.
"We have to be careful when he is crawling because his left shoulder gives way. He has no muscle so sometimes when he is using it he can fall over.Currently the mum is concerned that when her young son eventually reaches school age he will be picked on by classmates and peers for his differences..
