I am a financial journalist and also mother of Jack aged 12 with global delay and epilepsy due to a cerebral hemorrhage, Olivia aged 9, and baby Isabel who died in 1996 of an undiagnosed genetic disorder. My major concern is to ensure my children have as healthy and enjoyable lives as possible and overcoming all stigmas linked with disability.

Two years on and I am amazed at all the new things my lovely (big) boy has learned to do despite his needs. My vision for his future is more positive, there are some good things for our young people out there. However I would like to see excellent provision for all, all of the time, and not just for some, some of the time.
