Little Lane Fountain has a rare genetic condition which he means he's obsessed with Hoovers - and can't stop CLEANING. Nine-year-old Lane was born with Williams Syndrome, a rare chromosome disorder which affects one in 20,000 babies. The unusual illness causes cardiovascular disease and learning disabilities - but these are often accompanied by extraordinary social skills and a bubbly, outgoing character. Sufferers are often acutely sensitive to other people's feelings and like nothing better than to look after others, chat and run errands.
