Story
Luke is a 15 year old boy with Duchenne muscular Dystrophy.
Duchenne is a muscle wasting condition, his muscles weaken due to the lack of dystrophen. Every muscke in his body is affected including his heart and lungs.
Because of his condition Luke is now reliant on a wheelchair everyday. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a severe muscle wasting condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. This starts with the legs and moves up through the body affecting every muscle in the body.
Luke requires assistance in his wheelchair. Every day tasks we take for granted such as moving from one room to another Luke needs to ask for help and assistance. Going to the beach is impossible for Luke in his current wheelchair, a simply walk with his dog Mylo has never been possible for him to join in with his family.
Luke would love an all terrain electric wheelchair where he will have more independence to do everyday things like go out with his friends, move around school and take his dog for a walk.
