Abbi was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare genetic bone condition also known as brittle bones. A founding member of the Cambridge Rare Disease Network whilst at university, Abbi has since moved to London, where she works in advertising. In her spare time, Abbi enjoys writing and disability rights advocacy for charities Scope and the Brittle Bone Society, and last year made her stand-up debut on the BBC Ouch stage at Edinburgh Fringe.
