At the age of 35, Funmi suffered a severe stroke. Leaving her with reduced mobility, she couldn’t walk, it was extremely painful to bend down, and getting dressed felt like a constant everyday battle.
Her two babies were both born prematurely, due to preeclampsia. What she didn’t immediately know was that the second bout of preeclampsia would have a long lasting impact on her future health.
On the eve of her second baby’s naming ceremony, just seven days after her birth, Funmi developed a serious headache that paracetamol could not shift. Later that night, a sharp pain woke Funmi from her sleep and she in turn woke her husband for help. It was then that she had a stroke, followed by a serious bleed on the brain.
They arrived at St Thomas’s Hospital, in central London, to discover that there was no neurosurgeon on duty because it was the weekend. Funmi was critically ill and while the hospital staff were conducting a CT scan, her heart stopped. Her family was informed that she had little chance of survival and even if she did manage to survive, it was likely that she would be disabled for life.
Funmi was later moved to the Atkinson Morley Hospital near Wimbledon, which had become one of the most advanced brain surgery centres in the world, and she did survive!
Funmi eventually started a rehabilitation process, which she found to be very difficult and strenuous. Eventually she was talking, walking and using her right hand which enabled her to return to family life.
Like many stroke victims, Funmi went on to experience a further serious health issue when she was diagnosed with end stage kidney failure in 2007. Once again, grace of God was shining upon her as she managed to have a successful transplant in 2011 and used her past experiences to recover, continuing to live as full a life as possible and to bring Clip Knix to market for the benefit of those, who like Funmi, live with limited mobility. From this seed of an idea, Clip Knix was eventually launched as a product in 2018 and Funmi is proud to be able to assist others who are also unable to bend or stretch when dressing.
Providing the solutions to daily problems, Funmi designed, tested, and tested again a solution that came in the form of clip-on underwear. Underwear that can transform the lives of millions.
