They were honoured to welcome William, a young boy with a smile that could light up any room.

William is the grandson of Sarka, the Anner Hotel Accommodation Manager.

William has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a severe condition that is sadly life-limiting.

In the coming years, William will lose the ability to walk, and unless he receives urgent treatment, his life will be tragically cut short.

The hotel also asks that everyone shares information about William's case with everyone they know, so as to spread awareness.
