Trigger warning: This interview contains detail on child bereavement. Kit McCartney was diagnosed with a non-survivable condition whilst still in the womb. His parents, from Worcester, are doing something incredible in his memory. Andrea and Bill tell Felicity Kvesic how a 29-week scan created a heart-wrenching scenario that they are still recovering from, after ending up losing one of their twins hours after birth. Eighteen months on, Andrea is running an ultra-marathon around all 106km of the Isle of Wight, raising funds for the Worcestershire Bereavement Suite, who supported the family through their grief. Image credit: Family Details of support with bereavement, and in particular child bereavement, is available on the Âé¶¹Éç Action Line.
