A woman is having to endure “relentless levels of pain” every day as she suffers from a condition that's causing her brain to slip down her spine. Emily Balfour, 25, who has been left mostly bed bound, is pleading for help to raise funds for lifesaving treatment in the US that would stabilise her skeleton.
Emily, from London, faces permanent disability and is at risk of paralysis if she cannot raise the £200,000 she needs for the procedure. Known as PICL, the treatment involves injecting stem cells into the spine through the back of the mouth.
Emily's health battle began when she was 14-years-old following an ice-skating accident. She went on to be diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS).
