A mum is warning people of the dangers of contracting hepatitis C after losing her dad to the virus.
Gioia Dalosso Hemnell, 45, produced a documentary called 'Silent Epidemic' which put the spotlight on the virus and her 62-year-old dad’s battle with it. The 10-minute film included interviews with experts Professor Graham Foster and CEO of Hepatitis C Trust Rachel Halford as well as Gioia’s mum Sarah.
The mum-of-one recorded the programme while she was at John Moores University. Gioia is now a freelance reporter and has a particular interest in broadcast and health-based journalism.
