GIRL WITH RARE DISEASE DRINKS NINE GLASSES OF MILK PER DAY TO SURVIVE:

This sweet nine-year-old girl has a rare illness, and  has to drink 6 pints of milk per day to stay alive.

Holly Lindley suffers from Glycogen Storage Disease and cannot convert food into energy and therefore must sip milk mixed with five spoonfuls of corn flour almost constantly or risk falling into a coma.

The corn flour contains starch, which acts as a slow release of energy during the night. The disorder affects just one in three million people.
