| After suffering years of heartbreaking infertility, Claire Dunn never thought she would be a mother.
But now as she cuddles her tiny twins Roxanne and Kenzie, she feels like the luckiest mum in the world - and amazingly its all down to the male sex drug Viagra.

| The death of a young mum inspires marathon run. |
| WHEN Christine and I celebrated our wedding day, we thought we had our whole lives ahead of us. But just a year after our second son was born, our world was to shatter around us. Christine was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Last June, at the age of 35, Christine died in hospital, leaving our two sons Dominic, now eight, and Matthew, 11, to carry on without her. But we haven’t given up hope. I have just completed the London Marathon in her memory and I know she would have been so proud of me crossing the finishing line for her. ( dobson ) |
