Mum Sanya describes how having bilateral retinoblastoma is not getting in the way of her daughter Natalie’s accomplishments.
“My daughter Natalie has bilateral retinoblastoma but that does not stop her to do all the amazing stuff she loves. She loves to do gymnastics, horse riding, making stuff with clay, playing violin and swimming. Natalie won second place in a gymnastics competition and we were all there to support her. She also has had horse riding lesson in the summer and is very good at it. Natalie’s imagination runs when she is making stuff with clay; whether she’s making an animal or making something from her imagination or she’s copying something it always looks perfect. She has also been doing violin lessons since she was 4 years old and is currently 8 years old .A couple months ago she performed in a concert and she was playing so lovely. We are all so proud of her.”
