A Glenmavis beauty has secured a place in the Miss Great Britain Glasgow finals for a second year in a row and will once again use her model behaviour to support a charity aiming to cure the rare genetic condition her young nephew suffers from.

Efia Quartey, 18, is “so excited” to make a return to the catwalk and continue backing her brave nephew Hudson, four, of Gartcosh, and his battle with Angelman Syndrome, which affects only one in every 15,000-17,000 people.

In her efforts towards being crowned queen at the Glasgow finals in June, Efia is again fundraising for FAST UK (Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics).

Angelman Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes severe physical and intellectual disability.

Efia has revealed that Hudson is “doing well” and continues to be wowed by “the wee superhero”.
