| BOY WITH DEMENTIA |
| This is the 12 year old boy - who has senile dementia.
Ryan Buggins spent the first eight years of his life as a perfectly normal little boy.
But now forgets things that he’s done the previous day - and his family are facing a race against time to build as many memories for him whilst they still can.
Ryan was diagnosed at the age of eight with the incredibly rare Battens disease - a cruel death sentence that causes dementia.
It’s an incurable genetic disorder that eventually means sufferers lose their sight and ability to walk, swallow and pick things up. They aren’t expected to live far into their teens.
His mother Leanne, who lives in Ash, Dover, with husband Ross, said: ‘We had never even heard of Battens Disease before Ryan was diagnosed with it. |

| TWIN WALKS WITH HIS BROTHER THANKS TO SURGERY |
| THIS is the heartwarming moment that mother Lorna Brokenshire-Dyke thought she would never see.
Her twin sons walking hand in hand was something that seemed impossible when twin Sebastian was born with cerebral palsy.
Whilst his twin Solomon learn to take his first few steps, twin Sebastian was left behind, in his walking frame.
But seeing him eventually taking his first steps, with a helping hand from his brother was a magical moment for his parents.
It was achieved by raising 70,000 for an operation carried out in America to help Sebastian learn to walk again - an operation that isn’t available on the NHS over here in the UK.
But it was his only chance of ever learning to walk after being born with cerebral palsy. |

| Sefton SHRINKING TWIN |
| THESE are the twins who faced a race against time in their mother’s womb - after one began to SHRINK.
When mother Jayne Sefton was 24 weeks pregnant, doctors discovered they had a lifethreatening condition.
One of the twins was taking all the nutrients from her twin sister - and it was causing her to rapidly shrink in size.

| TWICE as big as his brother |
| iF you were to see twins Finlay and Harrison Craven you would think they were just a normal set of twins.
It is hard to believe that these identical brothers arrived into the world with Harrison weighing nearly TWICE as much as his brother.
They were born nearly two months prematurely - Harrison weighing 4Ib4, and Finlay weighing just a tiny 2Ib15.
Their size difference had been caused by Harrison receiving more of the nutrients in his mother’s womb than his brother did.
But now Finlay is finally catching up with his twin. |
