Digby’s story: Duchenne muscular dystrophy | Action Medical Research

Digby is living with the rare genetic condition, Duchenne muscular dystrophy which leads to a relentless deterioration of physical abilities including the ability to walk. Sadly, this disease is fatal and although some treatments are available to help slow its progression, they do not benefit all children. Action Medical Research is funding research to explore a way to boost the effectiveness of cutting-edge gene-based therapies, to help more boys with Duchenne. “The feeling that our son is on ‘borrowed time’ is heartbreaking,” says mum Lisa. Digby has said he wants his film to "go viral" so please watch and share!
