After taking a job to build up their funds, they take time out in a local park to talk about their journey so far and Betty speaks about her health struggles.

She reveals she was diagnosed with MRKH at the age of 16. “It means that I don’t have a uterus, I don’t have a womb and I only have one kidney as well," Betty explains.

"I think on the journey we have learnt that speaking to each other is actually not that scary.” James adds: "And it helps, quite a lot and now we could easily pick up the phone to one another and talk about whatever."
