Hamilton mum of four Shannon cares for her beautiful youngest child Tailen, who has Cystic Fibrosis.
Her days generally stretch from 6am to 1am, and include an intensive medication regime, two to three physio sessions, up to 30 nappy changes and the ever-present fear of infection.
The financial pressures are immense and she admits most days, she sits down and cries, but manages to keep going for the love of her family.
