A profoundly deaf Stamford teenager says people shouldn't "write off" children with disabilities.

17-year-old Bea Cadman has helped launch a nationwide campaign to challenge perceptions of what deaf children can achieve.

It's part of her quest to become a nurse or a midwife.

She's now at the forefront of charity Auditory Verbal UK's annual fundraiser after they helped her when she was just 16 months old.
