Mike plucks up the courage for the sake of his family

Loading player...
Mike's letter to Carol for a V for Valentine's reads as follows: "It has taken me some courage to do this, but I would like to be able to do this for my wife. Many years ago my wife and I were told that she would never be able to have kids because of the cysts on her ovaries. She was on the pill to try and reduce the cysts, however the pills never agreed with her and sent her body into “chaos”. Since then she has battled with her stomach. Fast forward 15 years and we have 2 kids, a girl (6) and a boy (2). Both pregnancies were C-section and with the second one she went into shock from the anaesthetic. Please consider us."
