Lucy feels passionate about her experience with allergy. In a talk in Cambridge 12 years ago, she began with the words, "I am a Mother and I have never worked so hard in all my life".
At the time she did not realise that the emotional journey and challenges which lay ahead would lead her to a feeling of utter fulfilment in her life albeit somewhat scarred!
