Spina Bifida Awareness Week 2021 - Yragael's Story

17th October 2021

 

Yragael's Story...

"Recently, I have loved joining the various Shine online quizzes and online events. They really have been indispensable during the pandemic."

I have been involved with ASBAH, now Shine, on and off for many years now. My mother first joined when I was little as she wanted support and information on having a child with a disability. 

I finally went to mainstream school in my teens and Shine were able to offer me sessions of counselling to help me cope with various teenage issues I had.

I got back in touch with Shine seriously after speaking to the Health Development Manager, Gill, at the Chelsea and Westminster spina bifida clinic. I occasionally attend the Shine Blue Blobbers events which are always fun to meet new and old friends. 

Recently, I have loved joining the various Shine online quizzes and online events. They really have been indispensable during the pandemic.
