Ethan’s story (Challenge Squad)

At six months old, Ethan from The One Show’s Challenge Squad was diagnosed with MPS1, a rare condition that affects his growth, bones, hearing and eyesight. He was introduced to UCAN, a BBC Children in Need supported creative arts charity for visually impaired children and young people. The therapy and mentorship provided by UCAN helped Ethan come to terms with the health challenges he faces and begin to look forward and to embrace life again.
