Dad Completes 24 Hour Swim For Charity

ID: 1617774

This dad swam 24 miles in 24 hours to raise awareness for an almost undiagnosable condition that his son was diagnosed with after watching a TV show.

Father-of-two, Neil Gilson, 33, a hotel manager from Ilfracombe, North Devon, describes his son as becoming “possessed” overnight by a
condition that several doctors and child health professionals could not diagnose his son with after a year’ worth of doctors’ appointments.

He was watching a television show whilst on holiday and saw a child on the show displaying the exact same symptoms as his son Jack was suffering from – which lead to an official diagnosis of PANS/PANDAS syndrome by their doctor, saving his son from permanent and lifelong
damage.

Neil credits the exposure being the reason his son is now cured and living a full life, so has now swam a 24-mile Loch Lubnaig in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland in as many hours to raise money and awareness for the condition that nearly changed their family’s life forever.
