Climb & Cycle for Aaron -

Hello and thank you for visiting Aarons Go fund me page - I'm Lisa and Aaron is my husbands nephew, we have watched Aaron grow into the beautiful, happy, adventurous and funny little boy he is today.

We are raising funds to go toward Aarons future care and his fight with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Aarons Parents Sinead & Dermot and the Gallagher /Langan families were completely blindsided by the news received when Aaron was just 18 months old when he was Diagnosed with DMD.

⭐️The fundraising Climb & Cycle will see Aaron's dad Dermot, family and friends Climb Mount Errigal and cycle 100km home to Laghey on August 17th 2024.

⭐️Any amount you're willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated, and if you aren't able to contribute money at this time,a share with your friends and family would mean the world to us.

Here are a few words from Aarons Mum Sinead on his story so far ❤

⭐️ Aarons story⭐️

Aaron is a 7 year old happy go lucky little boy who is full of life.

Aaron was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was 18 months old.

Every parents worst nightmare.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a rare muscle disease which effects boys. Aaron and all boys with Duchenne cannot produce a protein called Dystrophin that strengthens and repairs muscles.

Because of this all of the body's muscles deteriorate over time and this also includes the heart.

Duchenne is a terminal diagnosis and the lifespan varies from child to child. Every boy with Duchenne which is also known as DMD progresses differently .

There is no cure at the minute, although Gene Therapy is looking very promising as a treatment which hopefully will see many living longer fulfilling lives, although this is still a long way to go.

We cannot sit and wait for that day to come and we are not sure if it will come in time for Aaron and must think of his future needs where he will need alot of additional care.

Thank you so much for your continued support for Aaron.

The funds raised will go towards Aaron's future care needs, with donations going towards MD Ireland and Liquid Therapy.
