A BC family of a 4 year-old boy with an extremely rare disease say they're in a race against time to get him the treatment that many extend his life. Just weeks ago, Clyde Jackson was doing what he loved most, and was “always dancing and listening to music,” shared his mother, Jamie Lee Jackson.

As Cohan Sassaman reports, the family needs to move quickly to save their little boy.
