About

A 6-year-old girl suffering from a neurodegenerative disease finds hope of a cure, thanks to a clinical trial at CHU Sainte-Justine. Her brain tumour is now gone.

Livia, a little girl from Saint-Alexis-Des-Monts in Mauricie, was just one year old when she was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis. 

This genetic disease affects coordination, vision and hearing. Livia was at risk of going blind.
