3 year old Eddsion who could get cancer from sunlight

  • 5 years ago
Meet Eddison Miller -- the little boy who could get cancer from sunlight. The three-year-old tot from Kingsnorth, Kent is one of the youngest people to have been diagnosed with the rare and incurable genetic condition xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) -- which makes him completely intolerant to ultraviolet (UV) rays. His condition affects fewer than 100 people in Britain and about 2,000 around the world - and makes Eddison 10,000 times more likely to develop skin cancer. But his dedicated Scots parents, mum Nicola, from Archiestown, Moray, and dad Andrew, from Aberdeen, try everything to “keep his life as normal as possible”.
