Family and friends gathered to celebrate the 10th birthday of an inspirational little lad with a rare condition who has defied the odds and left doctors baffled.
Milo Browne, from North Shields, suffers from a rare degenerative condition so unique it is known only as M3BHA - and doctors feared he wouldn't live past two hours. Now 10, Milo is thought to be the oldest known case in the world, as sadly most children with this condition do not live past two years.
And to celebrate the momentous occasion, his mum and dad Stephen Browne and Laura Davidson, held a family fun day on Saturday to celebrate Milo and his incredible impact on the world. The fun day also helped raise funds for Mission Milo with money going towards an adapted caravan fit for families with children who may have complex needs like Milo.
