River was healthy until the age of 11 when she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After three rounds of chemotherapy she developed a rare fungal infection that led to meningitis, causing blindness along with other health issues. After nearly a year in hospital, doctors said she would not survive as there was nothing more they could do. But her mother refused to give up and began giving her daughter cannabis oil. Although still blind, two years later River is getting better. River's mother joins us from the UK to share her daughter's story.
