DIY SOS | Series 3 | Ennis

In 2009, Ennis native Clare Mulvey and her husband Dee Sydney welcomed their twins Isabella and AJ into the world. Based in London at the time, their son, AJ, arrived healthy and thriving however their daughter Isabella was immediately diagnosed with Lumber Sacral Agenesis at birth. This meant that Isabella was born with half of her spine missing which would have a profound effect on her developmental stages. When Isabella reached the age of seven, she along with her parents made the difficult decision to have her legs amputated which then resulted in several significant surgeries at a young age. Despite the diagnosis and Isabella’s surgeries, the family remained positive about the future. 

Showcasing its commitment to Irish communities, the Chadwicks team will be on hand to support presenter Baz Ashmawy and the DIY SOS crew at the Mulvey-Sydney family home as they aim to transform it to suit the family’s specific needs.
