💔 Meet little Tate, a lively five-year-old who runs like Usain Bolt! But Tate’s in a race against time, battling a rare condition known as childhood dementia or Sanfilippo syndrome.
🧬 His mum, Tammy, is on a mission to raise £1.5m for a groundbreaking treatment in the US. This treatment could halt the disorder’s progression, offering hope for them to dream of a healthier future.
🕰️ Sanfilippo syndrome, affecting only 140 children in the UK, gradually strips children of their skills, like walking and eating. The clock is ticking, and the NHS currently focuses on pain management rather than preventing cognitive decline.
💉 The promising treatment Tammy is fundraising for isn’t yet approved in the US and could cost between £1.5m to £3m. Once it is, Tammy’s only hurdle will be raising the funds, as Tate’s condition could worsen without intervention.
🏃♂️ Despite his diagnosis in September, Tate remains full of energy, climbing, running, and thriving. Tammy’s heartache lies in missing early trials due to a delayed diagnosis, but her spirit remains unbroken.
🌟 “I live in a world of hope and denial,” Tammy shares, “I want to keep his spirit alive and make his future bright.”
🙏 Tammy is fundraising through Just4Children. Support Tate’s journey and donate today to help give him the chance he deserves. ❤️
Together, let’s spread the word and rally around Tammy and Tate in their fight against time. Every bit helps! 💪✨
