Charlie Gard Was Born On 4th August 2016 Perfectly Healthy

Charlie Gard was born on 4th August 2016 perfectly healthy

Charlie Gard was born on 4th August 2016 perfectly healthy. However at just 8-weeks-old he was diagnosed with a devastating disease called mitochondrial depletion syndrome. There is no known cure, however there is a doctor in America who is trialing a pioneering new treatment called nucleoside bypass therapy, which has shown amazing results in patients with a very similar disease. After a huge media campaign, £1.3 million was raised to treat Charlie in America. HOWEVER, on 11th April a high court judge ruled that Charlie’s parents be stripped of their parental rights, Charlie will be refused all treatment, and must be allowed to die!
