Penny Barraclough’s nifty moves, her infectious personality and her brave approach to her treatment for a serious condition have combined to earn the six-year-old legions of fans, with one video alone racking up nearly eight million views
Penny Barraclough is recovering well after her bone marrow transplant at Sheffield Children's Hospital, and her mum, Jodie Mangham, said she already had much more energy than she did before the operation“It made her happy,” says Penny’s mum, Jodie Mangham. “She turned such a negative situation into something so positive and inspiring. She’s shown such strength and continued to light up the nurses, who are always laughing when she’s around.
It is now two months since Penny had the transplant and just over three weeks since she was able to return to her home in Hemsworth, near Wakefield, though she is still back at Sheffield Children’s Hospital twice weekly for check-ups. She is doing remarkably well so far, and already has much more energy than she ever had before, though it is still early days and her mother warns that the recovery process is a long one, with setbacks likely along the way.
Penny’s friends and family launched a GoFundMe appeal to support her through her treatment and recovery, and give her mum the financial security she needs as she takes up to 18 months off work to act as a full-time carer. Jodie says the money has made a huge difference, especially since she was recently made redundant from her role as deputy manager at a play cafe.
