Skye Robson

Skye has Sanfilippo Syndrome. Without a treatment, she will not live to adulthood. You can help children like Skye by contributing to our campaign to raise funds for research into this childhood dementia.

Our story is the same as everyone else’s battling this disease: we walked into that appointment with a slightly delayed child and walked out with one who was terminally ill. Our world came crashing down, we were stunned. My wife is Thai, born in Kanchanaburi, Thailand and I was born in Melbourne, Australia. This condition has been traced back to the Dutch and the odds of us both being carriers is, well, crazy. A trip to the Metabolic Clinic at the Royal Children’s Hospital the next day and a blood test confirmed that Skye has MPS III B.

Since Skye’s diagnosis we still have times where tears are shed, but we are determined to bring her love, happiness and quality of life not to mention to seek out a cure. At the same time, we have our son Luke to raise, who is an amazing big brother to Skye; always looking out for the welfare of his little sister.

Skye likes swimming, dress-ups, AFL and playing with big brother Luke. She has a bubbly and vibrant personality and is always up to mischief. Her family fear everything she will one day lose.

Luke and Skye are our little Angels and always will be.
