The Hydrant (www.hydrateforhealth.co.uk) is proving to be a real help for Duchennes boys by helping them stay independently able to get drinks when they want to.
We would like to make a special offer available to help spread the word.
All Hydrants ordered through Action Duchenne will receive a free 500ml Sports Hydrant with the order until the end of September.
How to order?
All you need to do is email -
duchenne@hydrateforhealth.co.uk
and tell us if you would like a 750ml or 1000ml Hydrant and we will organise everything.
Don't take our word for it though, please see the feedback below:
“We got the Hydrant for our 13yr old son who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and was losing the power to lift his arms and like most 13yr old boys wanted to be independent so rather than ask for help with lifting his drink and didn't like using straws because he felt too old and said straws were for little kids not teenagers avoided drinking. Having the hydrant gave him independence and now he has no problems drinking and is very happy to use this even when we go out we hook the bottle on the back of his wheelchair and passes the tube discretely round under his arm and clips to his clothing were he can then drink from the mouth piece easily” - Diane Gilmour
"What can I say about the Hydrant what a fab and well thought of idea. My son never used to have a drink in school as he could not lift a normal sports type bottle to enable him to do so (he has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), now he has the Hydrant and drinks during the day at school" - Amanda Norman
