THE parents of a child with a rare life-limiting condition say their happy, little fighter is an inspiration to them every day. Sofia Churchman is the only person in County Durham with the genetic metabolic disorder Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia (NKH) and one of only 30 in the UK. NKH sufferers cannot make an enzyme needed to break down glycine so their growth and development is severely affected. Toxic levels of the amino acid build up in the blood, brain, spinal fluid, organs and tissues causing serious issues including brain damage, seizures and muscle weakness and most sufferers do not survive toddlerhood. The 22-month-old has a mild version of NKH and though there is no cure she takes 11 syringes of medication throughout the day to help with the symptoms.
