Our daughter Millie was one in a million. In Millie’s case it is believed she had a rare underlying auto immune condition that has no name and was mis-diagnosed as a mild condition in her younger years.

We want focus and commitment on research for non-cancerous rare disease. Too many of our children are dying due to the inequity in research, education and health equalities.

Five children die every week from a rare disease. Often the child is misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. This needs to change.
