At the age of 24, Jannette lost the majority of her sight after suffering a brain haemorrhage but she didn’t let that stop her getting creative and although left with only 3% of her sight, Jannette has been able to produce beautiful crochet poppies to raise funds for the Armed Forces each year. Having raised over £8,000 over the years for her poppies. Please support Jannette in any way you can. Please see Jannette's Just Giving Page below.
