A Kent teenager who suffers from a liver condition that affects only one in a million people says she still hopes to go to university.
Hannah Bullard can only walk with aids and needs a powered wheelchair to be completely independent.
But the 18 year-old from Sandwich doesn't qualify for funding on the NHS.
She's now trying to raise £10,000 for the equipment.
