Mother's Fund Raising Could Save Son's Sight

Emma Salisbury has been raising funds for research into a cure for choroideremia, a genetic eye condition affecting her son Tommy. Her efforts have led to a clinical trial of a pioneering gene therapy treatment, which has shown promising results in reversing sight loss. The trial involves injecting a genetically engineered virus into the eye to replace faulty genes. The success of the initial trial has paved the way for further research and trials, offering hope for Tommy and others with the condition.
