Arian is a 10 year-old who is fighting for the chance of a normal life. When he was 5, he has been diagnosed with Melas mitochondrial disease . As a result of the disturbed function of their cells' mitochondria, patients with MELAS develop brain dysfunction (encephalopathy) with seizures and headaches, as well as muscle disease with a buildup of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis), temporary local paralysis (strokelike episodes), and abnormal thinking.
His family needs to pay €40000 for a stem cells transplant in Thailand.
