The family of an Irvine tot who was diagnosed with the same genetic disorder that claimed her six-week-old cousin's life in 2012, is set to go on an emotional fundraising trip.
Brave mum of three Kirstine Christie, from West Kilbride, is set to honour her late son Sol-John - who passed away at just six weeks old from complications brought on by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) - by raising money for her two-year-old niece Willow, from Irvine, who has the same condition.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic condition that makes the muscles weaker and causes problems with movement.
