Lauren was born with spina bifida and doctors warned she may never walk.
Her future was uncertain.
Today at the age of 13, she does against all odds walk.
She has just been offered a place at The Prestigious BRIT SCHOOL again against all odds as she lives well outside the catchment area and 2 hours away.
Lauren has devoted her life to both charity and fundraising having raised in excess of £300,000.00 and the performing arts starring in many professional shows, pantomimes and west end productions.
last year she had the honour of being an olympic torchbearer.
A very special little girl who has indeed defied all the odds. Would you be interested in running a story on Lauren.
