Little Connor Olsen is an active lad who loves cars. He is earnest and chatty with twinkly blue eyes. His favourite pastimes include running and swingball.

He has no idea about the rare muscle wasting disease attacking his body.

Nor has Connor, just four, from Westgate, so far been noticeably affected by his Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, only diagnosed in March.

He has a tendency to fall down rather too often, tires easily and finds stairs a challenge.

The terrible statistical prognosis is that he will be in a wheelchair by the age of 10 and dead by 20.

The goal is to give Connor the best possible chance through a fighting fund for the latest treatment.
