A YOUNG woman whose exceptional beauty and courage in the face of disability helped her become a Miss Universe Great Britain finalist has died. Despite being just 20-years-old, psychology student Saarah Ahmed had already used her talents and intelligence to begin highlighting Ehler’s Danlos syndrome (EDS), the rare condition which blighted her life. She died suddenly on Tuesday, April 13. Her proud mum Shefaly Begum told our sister title the News & Star that she wants to tell her daughter’s story to help realise Saarah’s dream of educating people about EDS. Saarah, who was from Carlisle, in Cumbria, was articulate, beautiful and wise - qualities which shone through in February when she made an Youtube video about her condition.
