Sisterly Love

[annie]

When it comes to sisterly love, Roxanne Bottrill says she has won the jackpot.

Keeping it in the family: I'm a full-time carer to my older sister - but she looks after me, too!

Kelly and Roxanne have been close since they were babies and have always managed to have fun, in spite of Kelly's disabilities

The 30 year-old, from Rotherham, looks up to her 'mischievous' and 'giggly' elder sister, Kelly, saying: "She always looks after me."

With only 18 months between them both, they grew up close together, helping each other.

And that bond has blossomed into their adulthoods: at the moment Roxanne is Kelly's full-time carer.

To an outsider, it perhaps seems like a challenge.

Kelly, who has Down's syndrome, battles health issues such as being registered blind, having impaired hearing, sensory processing disorder and a hole in her heart.

But the dance and movement psychotherapist simply describes their time spent together as, "really fun, I've managed to get out and do things."
