A Merseyside family were rocked by two bombshells within five months of each other.
The Nye family, from Newton-le-Willows, were hit with the news in March 2019, that the dad of Megan, 13, was killed in a motorbike accident. Just five months later, Megan's sister Gracie, five, was diagnosed with type one diabetes.
Gareth, Megan's stepdad and Gracie's dad, told the ECHO: "She struggled with it a lot, as anyone would- but she was just nine years old and lost her dad so it was so difficult. Covid hit not long after, so it was a struggle to get Megan the counselling and support she needed."
