Devastated couple told both daughters have brain disorder but only one can have treatment

A devastated couple have been told that both of their daughters have a life-limiting brain disorder, but only one of them can receive treatment.

Ally Wallace, 32, and her partner Jake Shaw, 29, discovered that their children Nala, two, and Teddi, 11 months, both suffer from a genetic disease which affects the 'white matter' of the brain and causes the loss of their physical and mental skills.

Agonisingly, Nala is unable to receive treatment for the condition, known as Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), as her brain has deteriorated too far already, Chronicle Live reports.
