" This Disease . . it's the cruellest, nastiest Disease . For someone So Young to be so Brave . . and Isla's aware of the impact this has on her mum and dad and she helps them, " He Said .
" This is a very special Young Lady you're in The Company of, she really is, and I Am … she gets me in tears every Time I 'm in her company. "
