The Reason I Jump from the parents' perspective
Back Cover Copy

When we got home after the diagnosis I was numb, trying to take it all in. There we were again, alone as a family, like coming back from hospital after the birth, only this time with a task a thousand times more daunting. This wasn't the anticipation of an adventure. No-one we knew had faced this problem before. We were on our own. There was no instruction booklet. We'd not been taught about this at school. We were unprepared, adrift at sea.But how could I let Angela down? How could I let my own child down? I had no choice, I would have to cope. No, it was more than that: I would have to fight.
