Coleen Rooney has revealed that encephalitis left her in a coma at the age of three, after which she had to learn to walk again
In The Real Rooneys, her mother Colette McLoughlin explains how the experience encouraged the family to provide foster and respite care for children with additional needs
Coleen also discusses growing up with an adopted sister who had Rett syndrome, a rare condition requiring round-the-clock support
Those family experiences continue to influence Coleen’s charity work, including a UNICEF project supporting Ukrainian refugees and vulnerable children.
