Iona s mum Ann, 57, used Rare Diseases Day to raise awareness of Turner Syndrome, where one of a girl’s X chromosomes is missing and which affects about one in 3500 girls.
Most sufferers grow up to be shorter than average, with underdeveloped ovaries and fertility issues. Girls also have distinctive features and associated health conditions, some of which may be apparent from birth including thick neck tissue, being a small baby, heart conditions and kidney abnormalities.
Ann, a retired police sergeant, said: Iona always looks on the positives, never moaning about her treatment or daily challenges she faces and has helped raise a large amount of money for charity, especially the Brain Tumour Charity.
