Campaign idea: Anoushka qualified as a nurse
Anoushka woke up with joint pain at eighteen, pushed through fourteen surgeries, and fought to finish her nursing qualification.
This story
At eighteen, Anoushka woke up with a swollen knee that led to a delayed rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. Despite needing crutches and fourteen surgeries to repair joint damage, she pushed through an extra year to complete her nursing course. She later worked as a healthcare assistant and learned to become her own advocate while also managing a spinal cord injury.
