Alison White

In 1996 Alison's first child, Louis, was delivered by emergency caesarean section at thirty-two weeks' gestation. H suffered severe brain damage due to her undetected pre-eclampsia within hours of his birth, and has cerebral palsy and learning difficulties. From this point Alison's life drastically changed.

In 2003 Alison left Scotland to live remotely in South West Wales with her husband, Greg, and their three children, Louis, Natasha and Jack, where they still live today. Here they built a house to meet Louis's needs and were able to allow their younger two children to run wild.
