To have your child diagnosed with leukaemia is devastating for<br />
any parent, but Samantha Cowpe lives with the possibility her<br />
other son could also be diagnosed with the disease at any time.<br />
When Sam’s son Tomas was diagnosed with leukaemia her world<br />
fell apart, but just weeks after later she was told that Tomas’s<br />
identical brother Daniel also have pre-leukaemia cells and could<br />
develop the disease at any time. The Cowpes have agreed to<br />
take part in a study, led by leading expert Dr Mel Greaves and<br />
their story featured in The Mirror on December 2009. Sam, 44<br />
from Hampshire, hopes to complete her first full marathon in<br />
April and raise £2000 for CHILDREN with LEUAKEMIA for more<br />
research into childhood leukaemia.<br />

birth her third child in February 2009 – has she lost the 5 stone<br />
