Episode 12 - How my child's Cerebral Palsy diagnosis created miracles with Sera Johnston

A mother’s world came crashing down in 5 words “your daughter has Cerebral Palsy”.  Sera shares her inspirational story of coming to terms with a child’s life-changing diagnosis and how determined mothers can create miracles and help their child defy all expectations.  Hear how this mum moved mountains to raise $75k in just six months for an operation only available in the USA.  She believed this operation could be the answer, but even she didn’t expect what happened to her daughter as she boarded the plane home.
