I am Jude's Auntie, Jude was diagnosed at his 18 weeks scan. This is the day that we found out that Jude had Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. The past 3 years have been tough on my brother Pete and Katja Jude's mum but Jude is amazing, so resilient, clever and funny who never fails to make everyone smile, nothing fazes him, noone could of predicted after his first diagnosis he would be so strong, walking with a frame and cruising around on his electric motorbike!!

Shine have been amazing and a lifeline to Pete and Katja and Jude -

"The Shine charity has so much to give, the support they offer to carers, parents and people with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus is outstanding. They constantly keep everyone engaged and updated. It such a lovely community to be apart of and I feel that if I ever have a question or worry about Jude, I can reach out to Shine and they will help, advise or point me in the right direction"
