A Scottish mum will feature on a brand new documentary on BBC Scotland tonight, and follows her story living with Motor Neurone Disease - and she is one of the few people with the condition who has given birth to children.
Lucy, who was only 19 at the time when she was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, will discuss her battle with the condition on the new documentary titled Being Mum with MND.
Lucy is thought to be the youngest person in Scotland ever diagnosed with the degenerative condition, with medical experts having little to draw on to say how it would progress in someone so young.

The film chronicles Lucy’s courageous path from regaining her independence post-diagnosis to living her dreams against all the odds.
It follows her as she plans marriage to the man she loves and goes on an incredible journey, having and raising her two young children.
