Sponsored Worksop walk drums up funds for baby battling rare disease
Rain and snow were not enough to deter a group of sponsored walkers who came together to drum up funds and support for a Worksop baby battling an ultra-rare genetic illness.
Starting from Bridge Place, the group shrugged off freezing temperatures and proceeded for five miles along Chesterfield Canal in aid of Bonnie-Rose O’Callaghan, who has Microvillus Inclusion Disease.
Mary O’ Callaghan, Bonnie-Rose’s mum, says her daughter is the only known sufferer of the disease in the UK.
Tragically, the tot had two other siblings who died from MVID before she was born.
