For five years, GP Rachel Stone, 34, and her solicitor husband, Andrew, 35, tried to conceive.

After four cycles of IVF treatment costing a total £50,000, the Cheshire couple even contemplated moving to a cheaper property to fund another attempt.

She had one embryo left when her cousin told her about Bonei Olam, an international charity providing fertility treatment funding.

The organisation paid for an entire cycle of IVF for the couple and in January, Dr Stone gave birth to a daughter, Eliana Esther. Now she is supporting Bonei Olam's national campaign, My Child's My World, which has a £1 million target.
