A woman from #Whitstable who suffers from a rare skin disease is trying to raise £20,000 for surgery. 27-year-old Melissa Gimson has Lipoedema, which causes painful swelling in her limbs.  The only way to fix it is to remove the affected cells using a form of Liposuction which is available on the NHS, so she's hoping to be able to travel to Germany for the operation.
