Rosie Aldridge’s son Alfie led a normal, healthy life until the age of eight. But now, at 11, he has developed ALD and sadly may not make it to adulthood. ALD is a build up on fatty acids in the brain. It destroys nerve cells which relay information, then shuts down the brain, the nervous system, as well as the organ and limb functions.
