At the age of 13, Emma was diagnosed with Turners Syndrome which she has had her whole life, it occurs when a baby girl is born with one X chromosome instead of 2. TS can cause other complications such as heart problems, restriction of height and other things. There isn't much explanation in to why or how TS occurs, but by lots of research girls with TS are able to increase their height by taking daily injections of growth hormone and hormone replacement for estrogen via tablets. 

Emma has been a member of The Turners Syndrome Support Society which is a charity it brings people together who also share the same condition. Em has made many friends through this who are able to support each other when things get difficult and formed life long friendships.
