Devon Dad Swims Switzerland's Biggest Lakes to Highlight His Son's Rare Brain Condition

Neil Gilson, 40, from Devon, is the first person to swim all ten of Switzerland's largest lakes — about 370km over two summers. He wants more people to know about PANDAS, a rare illness where the body's defenses mistakenly attack the brain after a simple infection like strep throat. His son Jack was diagnosed at 18 months. The NHS has no standard treatment guidelines.
