Staff onesie day to raise funds for local boy’s treatment

queens-theatre-hornchurch-staff-onesie-day

The staff at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch came to work in their favourite Onesies to help raise money for a young local boy’s curable treatment abroad.

7-year-old Nathan is a happy and cheeky little boy that lives with a rare condition – Hypothalamic Hamartoma. He was diagnosed in October 2014 and suffers daily from different types of epileptic seizures, gelastics, complex-partial seizures, drop attacks, tonic-clonic seizures, all resulting in him having between 15-25 seizures a day.

More recently Nathan was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and ODD, which are all linked to the condition. Unfortunately the NHS will not fund his treatment, but there is a high chance of curability from a treatment that is only available in Texas, USA.
