Jesy Nelson has just given a very powerful and emotional interview on @ITV's @thismorning sharing what life is now like with her eight-month-old daughters who have been diagnosed with SMA.

Jesy is talking about the importance of new born screening for @SMA. NBS could have picked this up early and given her daughters so much more hope. NBS is not available in England and Wales, but Scotland has just instigated NBS this month. @SMA_NBSalliance @SMA_UK_

Many of you will have seen Jesy Nelson’s video about her twin girls being diagnosed with SMA type 1. She speaks passionately about making the video to raise awareness of the signs of the condition and the importance of newborn screening. 1/8
