Determined toddler battles rare disease
At nineteen months most toddlers are walking, but this is just a dream for Jett Camilleri's family.
The Craigieburn toddler is one of only hundreds in the world battling a rare genetic disorder that has no cure.
Jett's parents noticed something wasn't quite right when he was six months old. They said their world was turned upside down when they were told their baby boy suffers from a rare genetic illness known as congenital disorders of glycosylation.
His parents are relying on the community's generosity to help them get their little boy to the United States for special treatment so he can have a chance at living a normal life.
Only eight hundred to a thousand people worldwide have the condition, which affects strength, muscle tone, balance, and co-ordination.
With no cure, Jett needs intensive therapy to achieve what so many take for granted.
