A Leicester dad has swapped his desk job for dusting and become a house husband so he can look after his ill daughter. Six year old Lowri Foden was born with Rett Syndrome, which mainly affects girls.
Peter said: “She can’t walk or use her hands properly and sometimes has breathing problems. She also has a learning disability.”

Father of three Peter, aged 42, gave up his job as an historical archivist to care for his daughter. Lowri’s mum, 41-year-old Bethan, works full time to support the family. The couple, who have two other children - daughter Elin, aged 13, and 11-year-old son Huw – now support the Rett Syndrome Association UK (RSAUK), which Bethan is a trustee of. They also support the charity Jeans for Genes. Peter says supporting the organisation could offer other youngsters with Rett Syndrome a better chance. He said: “Hopefully if enough money is raised there could one day be a cure.” |
