Rachel Lee, 33, has vowed to help other ill children by becoming a paediatric nurse after suffering the loss of her baby boys.

An NHS support worker has won a tremendous £405,000 on the People's Postcode Lottery six years after losing her twin boys. Rachel Lee wants to give back in memory of them, and is now planning to become a paediatric nurse.

Remembering her sons, she said: "They sacrificed themselves for me. It's heartbreaking that it happened, but in a way, I'm here to keep them alive." She also mentioned how if she hadn't given birth at that time, she would have only had 24 hours left to live. "When I got the job with the NHS, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I want to be a paediatric nurse and I want to look after poorly children. I can now do a Master's nursing degree and make it happen."
