William's Story
Welcome to my story, I'm a 6 year old boy and since I was 11 months old have had a rare disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. My Mum (Bronwyn) and my Nanna Belle decided to build a web site to form a support group for any parents, children, adults and interested family or friends of diagnosed sufferers of the disease. At age 22 months I develeped a another disease Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis another rare disease. At age 24 months I developed yet again another disease Diabetes Insipudus all caused by LCH.
Histiocytosis is a rare idease that is caused by an excess of white blood cells called HISTIOCYTOSIS . The histiocytes cluster together and can attack nearly any part of the body, including organs and the central nervous system. The disease can be chronic and debilitating and there is no known cure.

I was born on the 3rd December 2000 at Inverell Hospital a healthy 8lb boy named William Tate Latter. I have a big sister Hannah (10) a big brother Riley (8). My Dad's name is Brian and my Mum's name is Bronwyn. We live in Northern NSW Australia in a little village called Elsmore which is 16k's from Inverell.
