BRAVE Lyndsay Hamilton beat the odds to survive beyond her teenage years - and now lives life to the full.

But she's got just one wish for 2008 ... to be able to support others with the same debilitating brain disease.

Lyndsay suffers from tuberous sclerosis, a rare genetic condition that causes epilepsy, paralysis, blindness, lung problems and learning difficulties.

The 21-year-old, from Pollok in Glasgow, faces daily fits, partial blindness and has tumours on her kidneys.

She also says her behaviour and confidence have been badly affected by the disease.

But despite this she's won medals for sport, studied fashion and landed her first job.
