What is childhood dementia ? 🩺 Five-year-old Tate McDaid from Swansea has Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare and terminal condition known as ‘childhood dementia’, which gradually takes away a child’s ability to walk, talk and eat.

Ahead of Childhood Dementia Day on November 16, Tate’s mum Tammy is racing to raise the money for treatment while her son still has many of his abilities, with around £200,000 raised so far. #hospital #NICE #health
