Harry, a 19-year-old TikTok sensation, was born with an ultra-rare genetic condition called neuroblastoma amplified sequence (NBAS) that affects many aspects of his body. Despite being blind, diabetic, and having brittle bones, Harry’s parents provide 24-hour care for him. Due to his compromised immune system, Harry undergoes a weekly infusion to prevent hospitalizations. With a passion for dinosaurs and animals, Harry bravely entered the world of TikTok to share his knowledge, facing fears of online criticism. Surprisingly, Harry has gained a large following, but some comments focus on his perceived age, with people unsure if he’s five or 55. Undeterred, the family aims to raise funds for NBAS research as only 20 cases are known worldwide. Harry, who is about to start farming college, embraces his uniqueness and hopes to inspire others to do the same. His story is a testament to the power of embracing differences and finding joy in life’s challenges.
