- SERENA RICHARDS

THE heartbroken mum of a boy who overcame his stammer to inspire people across the country has spoken out following his death.

Faizan Sheikh, an advocate for less abled people, was born with Mosaic Edwards Syndrome, a life-limiting condition which he bravely battled through. Faizan died at the end of last year.

He had a stammer from an early age, struggling with speech until he turned 17. Overcoming this condition, Faizan told his story through social media and used it to inspire thousands of other people.
