Jude, what a different path her life has taken since the death of her daughter, I suppose had little Sarah not been murdered, life would have chugged on the way it had been going for the family but being in the spotlight and getting involved in campaigning as she so courageously did, changed the whole family's way of life I should think.

I hope she recovers well and can continue to do whatever helps her go on with living.

Last updated at 1:23 AM on 31st January 2010
Comments (0) Add to My Stories Sara Payne has been left paralysed down the left side of her body after suffering a stroke brought on by a brain aneurysm, it was reported tonight.

The mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London before Christmas in a life-threatening condition.

Her family gathered at her bedside as doctors informed them she had a 50-50 chance of survival.

Mrs Payne, a child protection campaigner, survived two major brain operations in 36 hours but said she has a 'long road' to recovery.

Speaking for the first time since the illness, Mrs Payne, who has deep scars from the surgery, told tomorrow's News of the World: 'I've got to take it slowly and be patient.

'The doctors have faith in me and know I'm a fighter.

'But I'm under no illusion - I've months of tough physio to get through and there's a long road ahead.

'Rehab is the key to my getting better, to my getting home and getting home is my top priority.'

Mrs Payne, from Surrey, had a life-saving operation to cure a ruptured aneurysm in 2008.

Since the death of her eight-year-old daughter Sarah at the hands of paedophile Roy Whiting in 2000, she has become a prominent campaigner for victims' rights.

She took up the Government-appointed post of Victims' Champion at the end of January last year.

Mrs Payne, 40, launched a high-profile campaign for "Sarah's Law" after her daughter's murder, giving parents the right to know if paedophiles live near them.

A limited form of the law, based on America's Megan's Law, was announced in February 2008.

She was given an MBE in the 2008 New Year Honours List for her tireless work to keep children safe from paedophiles

Sara Payne 'stable and talking'

Sara Payne was made Victims' Champion at the beginning of 2009
Child protection campaigner Sara Payne is responding well to treatment after she was taken to hospital with complications following brain surgery.

Ms Payne, 40, was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, in a critical condition on 23 December.

A hospital spokesman said she was now in "a stable condition and improving", and a friend said she was also talking.

Ms Payne's eight-year-old daughter Sarah was kidnapped and murdered by Roy Whiting in West Sussex in 2000.

Her friend Michele Elliott, founder and director of campaign group Kidscape, said the prognosis was now looking good.

'Huge relief'

"She wasn't able to talk over Christmas but was able to respond. Now she is able to talk again and things are improving.

"It's a huge relief but knowing the kind of person Sara is, it didn't surprise me because if somebody was going to come through something like this, it would be her.

"She wants to be there for her children and she wants to be there for her charity."

Ms Payne, from Surrey, had a life-saving operation to cure a ruptured aneurysm in 2008.

She began working to protect children from paedophiles and speaking out for victims after her daughter was murdered.

'Sarah's Law'

It emerged during the case that Whiting was a serial sex offender who had also abducted and sexually assaulted a nine-year-old girl five years before he killed Sarah Payne.

After Whiting was convicted and jailed for life she called on the government to change the law surrounding information about paedophiles.

The so-called "Sarah's Law" was partly inspired by Megan's Law in the United States, which was introduced after the rape and murder of seven-year-old Megan Kanka in 1994.

She was appointed an MBE for services to child protection in the 2008 New Year Honours List, and at the beginning of 2009 was made Victims' Champion - a 12-month post in which she was tasked with providing an independent public voice for victims of and witnesses to crime.
