Given only two years to live, his parents chose experimental treatment—and it worked. Now 25, Rhys has thrived, attending school, university, and even returning to thank the team at Great Ormond Street Hospital who risked everything to save him. The pioneering therapy, once fraught with uncertainty, has since enabled the hospital to deliver over 35 gene therapies to more than 135 children. Rhys, still taking antibiotics but 95% “normal,” stands as a living miracle—and a beacon of hope for families facing rare genetic diseases.
