Campaign idea: Eleanor took the controls of a plane
Diagnosed with a brain tumour at three, Eleanor lost most of her sight. At 15, she took the controls of an aeroplane.
This story
Eleanor was diagnosed with a brain tumour at age three, which took away most of her eyesight and remains part of her life. She went on to perform in the West End, work in television and radio, and deliver live audio description at the National Theatre. Through Aerobility, she sat in the cockpit of an aeroplane and took the controls while her father watched from behind.
