For 6 months after his birth, Raphael went undiagnosed with albinism, everyone in the operating theatre just assumed that he had very fair hair. At birth Raphael had a different name, Albie. With the confirmed diagnosis his name was quickly changed. After his diagnosis, Raphael and his family where immediately pointed in the direction of Vision Australia. One month later, he was prescribed glasses, and was having weekly sessions to improve his development.

Through Vision Australia’s intervention, Raphael has been granted another go at life. Raphael's mum Francesca joins presenter Peter Greco to discuss the journey so far.
