TINY CHRISTMAS ANGEL, SIX, IS SIZE OF TWO YEAR OLD
Pint- size Maci Winters only has one wish this Christmas - to be as tall as the other boys and girls on the school playground. Wearing her leopard print skirt and sparkly pink tights, six year-old Maci's big personality still commands the room- despite the 18-24 months label. The tiny school girl stands at just 99cm tall and weighs less than two stone - the same size as a toddler. Maci, from Pontefract, West Yorkshire, suffers from a rare genetic condition called Russell-Silver Syndrome, a form of primordial dwarfism that affects 1 in 100,000 babies.
