Do you want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money in aid of Action Duchenne and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
More information about Action Duchenne: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a degenerative muscle wasting condition affecting approx. 2500 people in the UK. The average life expectancy is just 25.
There is no cure. Action Duchenne is the UK’s longest serving charity dedicated to finding a cure and improving the lives of all those living with and affected by Duchenne.
My name is Niall O’Doherty and I also have this condition. I will be walking 2.7 miles on Saturday 13th of August. I am 15 years old.
A community full of love
Niall O’Doherty (15) lives at home in Northern Ireland with his parents Deborah and Kevin, and siblings Oran, Ciara and Eimear. Following Niall’s diagnosis, Deborah and Kevin have raised a phenomenal amount for Action Duchenne. We are incredibly grateful and truly humbled by the exceptionally supportive community who go above and beyond to support the O’Doherty family and our much-needed work.
The O’Doherty family are truly remarkable, and are a much-loved part of the Action Duchenne family.
We are proud beyond words of Niall, he truly is one in a million. A huge thank you to everyone who has got behind this wonderful young man, we are so so grateful.
