A doting County Durham father has turned down a £200,000 a year job to spend time with this two children who are both battling life threatening health conditions.
Matt Shaw, 39, has given up his job as a financial analyst and rejected a post in London with a £200,000 salary as he says "I don't know how long I have with them," reports The Mirror.
Matt, who lives with wife Tracy, 33, in Carville on the outskirts of Durham City, has already watched his eldest daughter Sophia, five, overcome a brain tumour. But now the brave youngster has cancer of the spine. And in a cruel twist of fate, the couple's second daughter, Delilah, three months, was born with hyperinsulinism, a condition that is estimated to affect 30,000 babies in the UK.
