FULL TITLE: 'Charlie Gard's parents inspired me to fight for my daughter's life': Father's race against time to raise £200,000
Robbie Emerson has been told my doctors that his daughter's condition is terminal and that she should be taken home to die
A father who claims his baby daughter has been 'left to die' says Charlie Gard's parents are the inspiration for his fight to keep her alive and secure life-saving treatment abroad.
He believes British doctors have given up on his child, but is refusing to stop battling on her behalf.
Little Jorja Emerson has a rare chromosome disorder and epilepsy, which has left her battling crippling seizures.
Doctors say her condition is terminal and she should be "taken home to die" after she suffered a 17-hour fit, according to her dad Robbie, 30.
He is in a race against time to raise £200,000 for an independent assessment in America where doctors claim to have successfully treated similar children.
The businessman said the impassioned court room battle by Charlie Gard's parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, has given him the strength to challenge doctors and fight for treatment abroad.
Charlie has a rare genetic condition and his life support will be withdrawn on Monday following a court ruling.

Baby Jorja of Northern Ireland for the Terri’s List and Pro life ping
thank you
What a troublemaker.
This family has been in contact with doctors in the U.S. who have looked at her case and believe they can treat her.
Just insane that in government healthcare you don't even have the right to a second opinion. Ughhhhhh
The UK is financially bankrupt and rationing is the order of the day with the pretense of ‘great health care’ provided by the “National Health Service”.
If people want to put up their own money and help children with serious illnesses denied treatment by the NHS, I don’t think anyone can object except the hospitals and judges in the UK.
