　　A little boy has become so frightened of food and drink he hasn't eaten anything for four years. Daniel Harrison's problem began when he suffered a severe case of acid reflux as a baby. Because the four-year-old also suffers from autism, the memory of that painful time has stopped him from eating anything solid since。

　　But experts have found no way to help Daniel. Now, in what father Kevin describes as his 'only hope', the family are determined to raise the ?20,000 needed to fund a trip to a unique clinic in Austria which might be able to solve Daniel's difficult case。
