Hundreds of balloons have been released in Dalston to raise awareness of a rare condition, which affects just one in one million people.

Moyamoya is caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain, and can lead to strokes and seizures.

Andrew Pattinson was recently diagnosed with it and says it's vital more people, especially health professionals, know about the condition.
