'You've got your hands full': Devoted parents aim to raise cash to help care for twins with "incurable" illness

About

This blog was set up in 2006 as a resource for parents of multiple birth children.
But it has moved on to include journalism, fiction, media requests and advice under the 'Write away' category as well as the odd bit of nonsense about my family and eating too much cake.
I'm the director of a small Midlands agency contributing features as well as commercial writing work, training and new media consultancy.

Devoted parents aim to raise cash to help care for twins with "incurable" illness

PARENTS of 15-month-old twins are raising as much cash as they can to help care for their baby daughters, amid fears they won't live to see their fourth birthday.

Lydia and Ella Thompson have incurable Tay-Sachs Disease which leaves them unable to crawl, sit up, walk, or talk. Peterborough Today reports that the little girls, will lose their sight, hearing and movement.

Now parents Leann and Dean are doing everything they can to make their lives easier. A special fund has been set up to help care for the twins and is reported to currently stand at £10,500.

A detailed and moving report from Peterborough Today is here.
