The Hirschsprung’s Hour

Tom Richard
Presenter
The Hirschsprung’s Hour is the leading Hirschsprung’s show in the world. The condition effects 1 in 5000 babies in the UK and is present when the ganglion cells (nerves) fail to form in parts of the intestine. Tom Richard will bring you some of the most inspirational advocates with this condition, who are thriving in the world of sport, TV and modelling from around the world.
Tash Jacobs joins to talk about her two sons who were both born with two different types of Hirschsprung’s, despite not having any family history. We follow the journey from Manchester hospital to Alder Hey, via Italy!
