A young family in a race against time to save son

Charlie Gard's mum is helping a young family in a race against time to save a coma toddler given "just days to live" by doctors who say he should be "allowed to die". Alfie Evans has been in a coma with a mystery illness for eight months and experts think he might have a mitochondrial condition - the same as Charlie. His distraught family claim medics at Alder Hey Children's Hospital have given him days to live and told his parents to "withdraw life support" to "allow him to die peacefully". His devastated parents Thomas Evans, 20, and Kate James, 19, have launched a campaign to raise £50,000 to get him treatment abroad before it's too late.
