The ride shifted her brain fluid which had been blocked by the
tumour, they told her, temporarily preventing a fatal build-up of
pressure, Get Surrey reports. Following surgery to remove the tumour, Emma had to learn to walk, talk and feed herself again.
Now,
a teacher at Isleworth Town Primary School in London, she is making the
most of her remarkable survival story by volunteering for The Brain
Tumour Charity. The 24-year-old was part of a group of young
ambassadors for the charity who travelled to the European Parliament in
Brussels to campaign for more investment into brain tumour research and
better support for those with the condition.
She and fellow
ambassadors - all of whom have either been treated for brain tumours or
lost loved ones to the condition - met MEP Emma McClarkin to discuss
their experiences, and they also visited the office of the European
Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC).
"The trip to Brussels was a great experience and an
opportunity to advocate on behalf of the brain tumour community. We have
encouraged Emma McClarkin to push for further research and funding into
brain tumours," said Emma, who lives in Twickenham. "Brain
tumours receive less than 2% of government funding so if we want to make
a change then the time is now. As young ambassadors we can speak up for
those who don’t have a voice themselves. Hopefully we achieved that in
Brussels."

The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part; "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating.

I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
An expectant father has accused EFCC officials of breaking into his home in the middle of the night to conduct a search without a warrant. The man said he was at his home in Olokuta, Kemta, in Idi-Aba, Abeokuta between 3 am to 5 am, when some men forcefully broke into his house using a hammer. He added that he was afraid they were armed robbers, so he hid in the guest bedroom with his pregnant wife as the men broke in through the sitting room window. According to him, the intruders claimed to be EFCC officials looking for "Yahoo boys", but they had no form of identification, neither did they have a search warrant. Even without a search warrant, the victim alleged that they searched his house, damaged things, then left without as much as an apology. Photos shared with LIB shows that the lock on the gate leading into the compound was broken. They also used force on the burglary proof, thereby causing a dent to it. A door leadi...
