:03:11. > :03:11.This is one-year-old Sophia Elia-Schenka.

:03:12. > :03:15.To look at she's like any other toddler, but she has a rare

:03:16. > :03:18.And where life expectancy in most cases is just two years.

:03:19. > :03:21.Her parents, from Loughton, are now desperately trying to raise

:03:22. > :03:23.money for her treatment and boost public awareness

:03:24. > :03:25.of the condition, so other families won't have to face

:03:26. > :03:31.Like most 18 month olds, Sofia loves to play with her toys

:03:32. > :03:34.and read her books, but for her these things aren't

:03:35. > :03:36.easy, because she has spinal muscular atrophy type one,

:03:37. > :03:51.So her muscles don't get messages from the motor neurons,

:03:52. > :03:55.so they don't know to work and therefore they waste away.

:03:56. > :03:57.Though few people will have heard of the condition,

:03:58. > :04:00.it is the most common inherited cause of death in infants.

:04:01. > :04:03.And in 95% of case, life expectancy is under two years old.

:04:06. > :04:07.have struggled to access the treatment and

:04:08. > :04:21.We went and we started talking to the NHS about getting it

:04:22. > :04:26.At that time she was already close to one-and-a-half.

:04:27. > :04:30.Victoria and Gee told us that the NHS said they weren't

:04:31. > :04:32.eligible for a wheelchair because they live up a very

:04:33. > :04:34.narrow flight of stairs, and there is nowhere

:04:35. > :04:36.here on the ground floor for an electric wheelchair

:04:37. > :04:44.It's the most difficult thing to have to watch

:04:45. > :04:46.your child struggling with the simplest of tasks.

:04:47. > :04:48.She can't turn a page of a book, she can't pick up

:04:49. > :04:56.We contacted their local NHS, who said they do offer a range

:04:57. > :04:57.of services for children with life limiting conditions,

:04:58. > :05:00.and Epping Forest Council claimed they are trying to help,

:05:01. > :05:10.in spite of a shortage of social housing.

:05:11. > :05:13.Now a look at the weather with Lucy Martin.

:05:14. > :05:17.A fairly cloudy and damp end to the weekend, but as we move

:05:18. > :05:19.into the working week, we are going to return

:05:20. > :05:21.to something that bit brighter, some sunshine on the way.

:05:22. > :05:27.So if we put the detail on to the map then, that band

:05:28. > :05:30.of rain finally clearing as we move through this evening and overnight.

:05:31. > :05:32.Some clearer spells into the early hours, overnight lows

:05:43. > :05:48.We are staying mild as we move through the first part of the week,

:05:49. > :05:50.but it will turn increasingly cloudy.
