'Isobel Jeffery displays the same symptoms as sufferers in their 70s and 80s and can no longer feed, dress herself or walk or talk properly. She has lost the ability to concentrate or hold a conversation and suffers memory loss, nightmares, hallucinations and becomes easily confused.
But despite her condition Isobel's parents describe her as a "rare cookie" with a "wicked sense of humour and enthusiasm about life". Isobel was diagnosed with early on set dementia, aged just nine, when she began to slur her words and display the same problems as people eight times her age.'
