We Just Want To Bring Our Boy Home
The parents of a baby born with a rare genetic disorder are appealing for help so they can take their ‘miracle’ boy home to New Zealand.

Little Harrison Dunne was not breathing or moving and was later diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder Myotubular Myopathy (XLMTM) when he was born on September 16.

Despite his physical disabilities, baby Harrison’s brain is completely normal.
