A six-year-old boy from Belfast has been given a better chance in life thanks to new cystic fibrosis treatment.
Tom Rice from East Belfast has been living with the condition since he was three weeks old, and has experienced dramatic changes in his first three months of using a new medication.
The tablets from Vertex were released during the pandemic for adults and the age for its use was eventually lowered to six, meaning Tom was able to start using it after his sixth birthday in January.
