Race against time: BC family fights to save 4-year-old boy diagnosed with rare disease

A BC family of a 4 year-old boy with an extremely rare disease say they're in a race against time to get him the treatment that many extend his life.

Just weeks ago, Clyde Jackson was doing what he loved most, and was “always dancing and listening to music,” shared his mother, Jamie Lee Jackson.

Clyde’s family noticed he was stumbling and could no longer use the stairs on his own, he was diagnosed with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare genetic disease that attacks the nervous system.

As Cohan Sassaman reports, the family needs to move quickly to save their little boy.
