Fad c貌rr is fichead bliadhna bha Frances O' Connell a' fulang le multiple sclerosis, bochdainn a bha s矛or fh脿gail a beatha nas duilghe. Ach ann an 2016 chualas mu dheidhinn ioc-shl脿int 霉r - agus son a chiad uair riamh, smaoinich Frances gun d貌cha gu robh leigheas ann dhi. Tha am pr貌gram seo ga leantail agus i a' toirt aghaidh air a' bhochdainn, a' dol gu Mexico airson ioc-shl脿int san t猫id bun-cheallan fala a chur na bodhaig: cunnartach, ach 's d貌cha le deagh bhuaidh air a beatha.

Bhathar bliadhna a' d猫anamh a'phr貌gram, a' gabhail ceum thar cheum cuide ri Frances air a turus: a' chiad char a' cruinneachadh an airgid, an iocadh a bha cho trom oirre ann am Mexico, agus an t-slighe fhada dhoirbh gu sl脿inte nas fhe脿rr. Nuair a th貌isich i air str矛 airson leigheas, bha Frances a' d猫anamh dealbh dhi fh猫in a' cluich le na h-oghaichean sa ph脿irc: an toir ioc-shl脿int nan ceallan dhi r霉n a cridhe?

For over 20 years Frances O'Connell has suffered from multiple sclerosis - a condition that has gradually eroded her quality of life. But in early 2016, a pioneering new treatment for MS hit the headlines - and, for the first time, Frances dared to dream that a cure might be within her reach.

This documentary follows Frances as she tackles the disease head on, travelling to Mexico for the hugely dangerous but potentially life-changing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Filmed over a year, the programme joins Frances through her emotional journey - from the early fundraising campaigns, the intensive treatment in Mexico and the long and difficult road to recovery. When she embarked on her fight for a cure, Frances' dream was to play in the park with her beloved granddaughters again. Will HSCT enable her to fulfil her dream?
