Chorleywood blind girl with brain tumour presents her own show

Betsy was diagnosed with an optic nerve glioma which affected her sight and she is completely blind, her father Stuart Griffin said.

The benign tumour did spread, meaning she underwent surgeries and continues to receive treatment, but her condition is stable.

When Betsy began making her videos, she said the intention had been to keep everything “nice and positive… and uplifting”.

Her dad described Betsy as “inspirational”.

Earlier this year, Betsy told BBC 3CR presenter Justin Dealey that she loved rock’n’roll from the 1950s and it was one of her dreams to become a radio presenter.

Offered the chance to present her own show, she said it would be “an absolute privilege”.
