Tayen's fundraising challenge

Breakfast on BBC Radio Somerset

Available for over a year

Tayen from Bridgwater was born with neurofibromatosis type 1 and has tumours on both her optic nerves. She's had intensive chemotherapy for many years of her childhood and has been left completely blind and epileptic. That hasn't her stopped her raising money though. She's doing 250 step ups in the garden over the weekend. Tayen's Mum, Kali Gilbert, chatted to Claire Carter on BBC Radio Somerset.
