Robin Emerson: my daughter lost her smile

Robin's daughter Jorja was just 10 months old when she started having terrifying epileptic seizures. They got so bad that doctors told her parents that Jorja was going to die. Refused a second opinion, Robin began to campaign for medical cannabis to get the seizures under control.

After a tireless campaign, with help from the charity End Our Pain, Jorja became the first child to get a UK prescription for cannabis. Her seizures reduced dramatically and the joy came back to her face. Medical cannabis is legal in the UK, but Jorja has no option but to get an expensive private prescription. Robin is working with Brains Bioceutical to increase awareness of cannabis to make sure that other children can get access to the life-saving medicine they need.
