The mum of a 12 year old boy with a rare muscular disease has spoken about the torture she experiences not knowing if he will reach his next birthday.
William Magee, from Prenton, suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare disease that degenerates his muscles, leaving him in a wheelchair and with a short life-expectancy. He was diagnosed just two weeks before his second birthday.
There is no known cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Kelly said that there was once hope with an experimental treatment that William, 12, underwent, however it did not work.
