Anna Smith Higgs suffered a devastating stroke one Christmas, when she was just 24 years old. On this episode, Molly Tresadern from the BHF talks with Anna about how, 17 years on, she's still living with the effects of the stroke - and why she decided to get up on stage and tell the world about it in a burlesque show.
