Family racing to save boy after mystery illness left massive brain damage

A family is facing a race against time to raise £30,000 for treatment for a 17-month-old boy who woke up unable to walk, talk or eat due to a mystery illness. Doctors have been unable to explain why Carter Daley has practically reverted to being a newborn baby after being found face down by his mum, Alisha.

Carter has lost his vision and is being fed through a tube. For a time he was paralysed - and if he is to recover his only chance will be in the next seven months.

Experts have no idea if Carter will ever learn basic skills again, reports The Mirror. Carter's gran, Louise Cowman has launched a GoFundMe to raise £30,000 to get Carter lifeline therapy in America before his second birthday.
