Meet Harry and Reuben – two brothers born into an unusual family. The fact is that the youngest boy, Ruben, suffers from a very rare disease associated with a violation of certain brain functions.
Reuben’s disease is so rare that only 16 people worldwide have been diagnosed with it.
The disease does not even have a simple name, but is indicated by complex medical terms for several lines. It’s just that Harry and Reuben’s family don’t seem to be unlucky.
Even before the boys were born, they had a sister, Olivia, who died of the same illness. Doctors cannot completely cure Ruben, however, they can help relieve the symptoms of the disease.
However, such treatment is very expensive and the family cannot afford it. Harry decided to do everything in his power and came up with his own plan to help his younger brother.
Harry decided to walk 72 kilometers (from one hospice where his brother is being treated to another), film the entire journey and post it online to attract attention and raise money for treatment.
However, due to the quarantine, such a trip to a neighboring city was prohibited by the authorities, and Harry decided to put the plan into practice on the territory of his own city.
The boy intended to collect 1,500 euros for his brother, but as a result he collected more than 8,000.
The parents were very touched by their son’s action and the support provided by complete strangers. They thanked them for their kindness and the hope they gave little Ruben.
