Grieving parents vow after identical twin boys die months apart

A couple who's twin boys died months apart have vowed to give back to those who helped them during the "most difficult time" of their lives.

Carol, 39, and Norman, 43, Plumpton-Walsh, from Runcorn, found out they were having identical twins on December 23, 2020, who they later named Archie and Elliott. Sadly after a number of complications, Carol and Norman's son Archie died on April 15, 2021 when she was 24 weeks pregnant.

Tragically, twin Elliott died at five-months-old on September 17, 2021 after he battled with prematurity and chronic lung disease. At 25 weeks Carol's waters broke and she was rushed to hospital where she stayed for three days, but did not go into labour and was allowed to go home.
