Ashleigh's Story
After doctors gave Ashleigh six months left to live after a near fatal consequence of genetic tissue disorder Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Ashleigh survived all the odds and overcame her diagnosis. Now fit and fighting, she started the Dark Horse Foundation to give other young people growing up in hospitals the chance to not only belong somewhere other than a hospital bed, but thrive because of the challenge.
Going on to win over 40+ awards internationally, recieving a nomination for a BAFTA Cyrmu, and team up with the Oscar winning contributors at Slick Films to create The Dark Horse - Ashleigh now works to help others from disavantaged backgrounds.
