A 37-year-old mother, who suffers from a rare condition and regularly collapses, has been saved by her 9-year-old daughter six times.

Gemma Hamnett, from Blackpool, Lancashire, suffers from Addison’s disease – rare adrenal gland condition – and regularly collapses due to her condition.

Her 9-year-old daughter Sienna Hamnett-Chow saves her life every time she collapses by giving her mother a life-saving injection and calling the emergency services.

If Gemma fails to get the injection within eight minutes, she could die.

Sienna first saved her mother’s life when she was just four. She has saved her mother’s life six times so far.

The most recent incident happened when Gemma and Sienna were in isolation.

Gemma collapsed and Sienna gave her the injection and called the emergency services.

When the police arrived and came to know how Sienna has saved her mother’s life several times, the officer said she deserved a medal.

PC Claire Sloane, of Blackpool Police’s immediate response team, described Sienna as knowledgeable as she told her the medical terms of all Gemma’s conditions.

She explained to her how she saves her mother’s life every time she collapses due to her rare condition.

PC Claire Sloane said: “Sienna deserves a medal, she is kind and caring and doesn’t realize how amazing she is.”

Gemma calls her daughter an “angel” as she remains calm and relaxed in a difficult situation like this despite being just 9.

Single mother Gemma said: “She has saved my life about six times now. She has to draw the insulin from glass and inject it into me while I am unconscious.”

“She also rings for an ambulance but because my condition is so rare, some paramedics have to research it when they arrive.”

Gemma, who worked for Lancashire Police for 11 years, suffered from Addison’s disease since she was 7.
