Teen who contracted meningitis at just weeks old doesn't let it stop her partying

A teenager who contracted meningitis at just weeks old and who now has additional needs doesn't let it get in her way.

Eva Afful, 13, contracted the illness when she was a few weeks old and had to be put into an induced coma. Although she recovered, she now has developmental delays, neurological issues, is visually impaired and uses a wheelchair.

She also has Cerebral Palsy, like her twin sister. This means she needs specialist care, day and night. Eva and her mum Jenny have teamed with Claire House, which is based in Bebington and West Derby, to raise awareness of the amazing work the charity does.
