The Longest Battle with Georgie Morrell

In The Longest Battle Emma Martins chats with people who have gone through a similar life changing situation to her own when Emma caught a virus in 2013 which completely changed her life for ever. 

The virus that Emma caught in Vietnam caused a brain aneurysm which in turn has severely affected Emma’s  eyesight.

In today's The Longest Battle Emma is chatting with 

stand-up comedian, award nominated actor, writer and as her website states one eyed legend Georgie Morrell.

At the age of 3 Georgie was diagnosed with chronic arthritis, And After a year she got glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes.

In her late teens Georgie lost the sight in her left eye and at the age of 21 she lost the sight in her right eye for about a year before the wizards at Moorfields restored about 90 per cent of her vision in her right eye.

Emma began by asking Georgie about her arthritis diagnosis and how it affected her vision before then chatting with Georgie about what made her want to become a comedian.
