There's hope for a Douglas family as they bid to send their severely ill son to America for potentially life-prolonging treatment.

Aziz Sharpe, who is four, has a brain condition which means he behaves like a newborn baby.

However, bi-annual trips to the Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia can help him progress.

Keith and Madina Sharpe lost another son to the condition at the same age but are determined to give Aziz every chance.

As they prepare to raise funds for another visit, Madina is encouraged by his progress (listen to audio file below):
