ALISON AND PARYS

The follow-up to the success story “Alison’s Baby”

Almost three years have passed since the disabled artist Alison Lapper gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Parys. The early physical problems: how to change diapers, how to breast feed, and how to cope with constant tiredness, have gradually given way to a new set of difficulties. Parys has grown up to be a very extrovert and assertive boy. He is now a walking and talking toddler, sweet and funny, but very hard to handle at times and quite a challenge for a single mother without arms! We follow Alison in a complicated love story and are present when she receives the Royal Medal of Honour at Buckingham Palace.
