It should have been one of the happiest times of his life... but an “unthinkably cruel” illness would tear his world apart.
Pete Wallroth’s wife Mair was 19 weeks pregnant with their second child and had everything to live for. Her breast cancer diagnosis changed all that in an instant.
The disease spread to her brain and Mair, 41, died just 10 weeks after the birth of son Merlin. Pete was left a single father to the tot and three-year-old daughter, Martha.
