She said: "In December 2003, our world was turned upside down when 30 minutes after our daughter arrived, we received the news that our baby had been born unexpectedly with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.

"Now our daughter Ella is almost 21 years old and joined me on Sunday at SBH Scotland’s Ladies Lunch.

The funds raised at the event will provide personalised support to thousands of children, young people, and adults across Scotland affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus (Image: Peter Sandground for SBH Scotland) "I thought there was no hope for Ella, but an SBH Scotland support worker told us in no uncertain terms not to write Ella off.

"She was clear that with the proper support and care, Ella could reach her potential in life."
