Scots MND fighter Lucy Lintott's fiancé is 'luckiest man on planet'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Snuggled up on the sofa with his inspirational fiancée and their two miracle children, Tommy Smith feels like the luckiest man on the planet.

Last year his wife-to-be, Lucy Lintott, 26, made history when she became the first person in the world to give birth twice after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

Tommy, 26, is in constant awe of his courageous partner, who keeps defying the medics who gave her a maximum of 18 months to live – eight years ago.Speaking ahead of a new fly-on-the wall documentary which follows the couple on their path to parenthood, Tommy said it is the strong bond they share that has allowed them to conquer all.He also talked candidly for the first time about his paralysing fear of losing his beloved Lucy – the youngest person in Scotland to be diagnosed with MND – and their children during labour.

The apprentice plumber, who lives with his family in Elgin, Moray, said: “Lucy is naturally amazing. She has got a lot of boss and makes me proud to be her partner. “She has so much courage to get up every day and live the way she does.“Having to ask someone to do everything for you must be the worst thing in the world but she has an acceptance of her condition.“I love ­everything about her, from her massive smile to her ­amazing eyes but most of all I love the way she bosses being a mum.”Lucy was one of only five MND patients to become mothers when she had their son in February 2020.
