A thalidomide baby who was born without arms and legs was almost left for dead until someone heard his cries.
Kevin Donnellon was born without arms and legs after his mum took thalidomide while pregnant. It was thought Kevin would have been stillborn, but after surviving against all the odds, is now married and a dad of two.
Kevin, who lives in Crosby, has a degree in social sciences and while at university researched the portrayal of people with disabilities. He later worked with adults with learning disabilities here in Merseyside - and has enjoyed a rich and fulfilling life.
