All brave Nathan Ward wants is to be able to play with his friends
A young boy who could die from the common cold says he wants to raise awareness of his rare condition to 'save' other babies who may remain undiagnosed.
READ MORE: Consultation begins on Re-turn machine accessibility - seven months after scheme was launchedNathan is in third class at St Anne's NS but he has to stay at home during winter and any time there are prevalent illnesses in the school. His parents Amanda and Ray even kept him at home last year to make sure he didn't pick up an infection before making his First Holy Communion.
"Last year he got the flu and he couldn't breathe because his windpipe was closing. Thankfully the ambulance arrived quickly and the paramedics saved his life. We almost lost him. "This treatment would mean everything. Nathan could be the little boy he just wants to be. He loves to dance and he loves motorbikes like his mam and dad, and he says to me that he wants to help save other babies who may not realise they have the same condition, through raising awareness of it."
