Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

8-year-old Konni, from Quorn in Leicestershire, was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 3. She's having an operation which her family hopes will cure her condition, and to prepare for it, she's having to shave off her hair. But, she's decided she wants it to go to a good cause - so she'll be donating her locks, and raising money for charity. Her Mum Lynda and Dad Jozef say she's an inspirational little girl who's not letting health worries hold her back.
