The painless woman and turning loss to support
Michelle McManus hears from Jo who doesn't feel pain, Ross who volunteers to cycle with the elderly and Kim who's turned a tragic loss into an incredible way of supporting others
This week in a very moving story Michelle talks to Kimberley Shaw who has turned her grief at losing her stillborn daughter Sarah into a way of helping other parents who have lost a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth or neo-natal death. Kimberly set up a charity called Zaagi and, using the material from donated wedding dresses, she creates beautiful nestling blankets, wraps and blessing gowns so bereaved parents can wrap their tiny children.
We also hear from Ross Nixon who 鈥� when he鈥檚 not on shift as a Highland fireman 鈥� volunteers for Spokes for Folks, taking the elderly on tours of Inverness in a specially designed trike.
Plus we鈥檝e an astonishing story from Jo Cameron who doesn鈥檛 feel pain but didn鈥檛 realise she was special or different until recently when she needed a hip operation! She can even eat a Scotch Bonnet raw without feeling anything more than 鈥榓 little bit of warmth鈥�.
