WORDS BYLINE: Deborah Cicurel
She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.
“I was just like any other kid—running around with friends, dancing around to my favourite TV shows and records. I even skipped crawling and went straight to walking, and I was reading and talking from a very young age, so nobody noticed anything unusual.
“To me, everything seemed fine because that was just my normal. It wasn’t until my parents started picking up on little things—like me squinting at the TV or struggling to see animals at the zoo when they pointed them out—that they became curious.
“At first, they thought I was just being cheeky, pretending not to see things, but when I kept squinting at the TV, they decided to take me to the optician. They assumed I was probably just short-sighted and needed glasses.
“In my early years at school, I only needed to sit closer to the board, but beyond that, I didn’t notice anything different. I guess what I saw—how I saw—was just my normal.
“When I first started squinting, my parents thought I probably just needed glasses for short-sightedness, like the other kids in my class.
“The optician gave me my first pair of multi-coloured glasses in the meantime while they arranged for the doctors to refer me to Moorfields Eye Hospital, as they could tell something more was going on.

FEATURE - Freundschaft zwischen Schlachthofferkel und einem querschnittsgelähmten Hund auf Charlotte's Freedom Farm
Winston was born without two front legs (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Real life Dr Dolittle gives animals with special needs an idyllic life and sees a rescued piglet and a paraplegic dog strike up an extraordinary friendship
By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life
A real life Dr Dolittle who gives animals with special needs an idyllic life says the extraordinary friendship between a piglet who fell from a livestock truck and a paraplegic dog who uses a wheelchair makes all her hard work worthwhile.
As boss of Charlotte's Freedom Farm, a five-and-a-half acre animal sanctuary, Lauren Edwards, 37, has spent the past five years providing a safe haven for everything from pigs to ponies, peacocks and pigeons.
Inspired to start the venture in Ontario, Canada, after rescuing her first sheep in 2017, Lauren, who now has more than 200 animals and also runs a pet food supply franchise, said: "Winston the golden retriever and Wilma the pig are inseparable.
"They behave like puppies when they are together."
Lauren, whose partner James Lambourne, 35, is a football coach, adopted Winston in July 2021 when he was eight-weeks-old.
With no front legs and a missing sternum, he could not play with other animals as it was too risky, until Wilma arrived in September, as a tiny piglet and the pair became best pals.
Lauren, said: "They started sleeping together.
"One time, I caught them both on the sofa. They'd leapt on to it and I didn’t even realise they could do that.
"When they were little, I watched them playing together and acting like puppies for hours.
"Wilma looked like a puppy in a piglet costume.
"As soon as I brought her into the house and let her out of the cage, she met Winston and within five minutes they were bouncing around the house and playing together.
"She would drop her body into him. It was the cutest thing I’d ever seen. They just bonded.
"She latched on to him. He was the first animal she met at the sanctuary and they

Winston and Wilma together (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Real life Dr Dolittle gives animals with special needs an idyllic life and sees a rescued piglet and a paraplegic dog strike up an extraordinary friendship
By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life
A real life Dr Dolittle who gives animals with special needs an idyllic life says the extraordinary friendship between a piglet who fell from a livestock truck and a paraplegic dog who uses a wheelchair makes all her hard work worthwhile.
As boss of Charlotte's Freedom Farm, a five-and-a-half acre animal sanctuary, Lauren Edwards, 37, has spent the past five years providing a safe haven for everything from pigs to ponies, peacocks and pigeons.
Inspired to start the venture in Ontario, Canada, after rescuing her first sheep in 2017, Lauren, who now has more than 200 animals and also runs a pet food supply franchise, said: "Winston the golden retriever and Wilma the pig are inseparable.
"They behave like puppies when they are together."
Lauren, whose partner James Lambourne, 35, is a football coach, adopted Winston in July 2021 when he was eight-weeks-old.
With no front legs and a missing sternum, he could not play with other animals as it was too risky, until Wilma arrived in September, as a tiny piglet and the pair became best pals.
Lauren, said: "They started sleeping together.
"One time, I caught them both on the sofa. They'd leapt on to it and I didn’t even realise they could do that.

SCHICKSALE - Wegen Blutgerinsel an der Wirbelsäule: Ella Beaumont wurde von der Brust abwärts gelähmt geboren
Ella is a researcher for sports TV (PA Real Life/Collect) *** TV researcher becomes YouTube star by
launching her own wheelchair workouts after feeling
left out when she could not join in with Joe Wicks
daily virtual exercise classes
By Jamie Blue Mountain, PA Real Life
With video contact video@pamediagroup.com
A disabled television researcher has made her debut in front of the camera, filming her
own wheelchair workouts after feeling left out when her family began joining in with
celebrity fitness guru Joe Wicks virtual exercise classes during lockdown.
Born paralysed from the chest down after a blood clot formed on her spine while she was
still in the womb, Ella Beaumont, now 25, has been using a wheelchair almost her entire
life.
Encouraged by her supportive parents, primary school teacher Kathy, 59, and accountant
Andrew, 60, she took up tennis aged six, carrying her love of fitness into adulthood, when
she would hit the gym three times a week and even won silver and bronze medals for
wheelchair basketball.
Then, when sports facilities closed their doors in March as part of the nationwide
lockdown to combat the spread of the coronavirus, Ella, of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire,
began scouring the web for online workouts and was shocked by how few resources
were available for disabled people.
Her concern was compounded when her mum and sisters Charlotte, 30, a seamstress,
and Alice, 27, a primary school teacher, began participating in Joe Wi cks daily sessions,
which she could not join in with.
So, combining her skills from her day job in TV production with her love of sport, she
started filming her own classes at the beginning of April, and has since been sharing them
to YouTube every week.
Already tallying over 6,000 views, Ella said: "When lockdown started, my mum and sisters
started following Joe Wicks workouts, and I could see they were getting that high I was
missing out on.
