Sofia's Story on living with CMN

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Children in Need Stories

Available for over a year

Caring Matters Now supports children born with CMN, a rare genetic condition that can cover up to 80 percent of the body with a dark, often hairy birthmark. Founder Jodi Whitehouse knows the journey firsthand. She was born with CMN, and she created this charity to give families guidance, connection, and confidence. Eight-year-old Sofia and her mum, Francine, joined Kevin Duala in the studio to share their story, their strength and why no one should feel defined by how they look.
