Together with The Guardian and Twins UK Ltd we were delighted to be able to help Ben and Joe.

 

Identical tots Ben and Joe Cunningham suffer from a chromosome syndrome called 7q deletion 31.1-32.2, a rare genetic disorder faced by only three other children in the world, which affects their development. They also suffer from another condition which causes them to choke and struggle to breathe. After we saw an appeal in the Guardian we stepped in to buy a special pram for them. The money we spent on the pram was raised before Christmas when we took Father Christmas around south Warrington on a sleigh and held charity stands at The Forge Shopping Centre and Morrisons. The Guardian report appealed to us as we allways try to help local people with the money we raise
