Spieren voor Spieren (Muscles for Muscles) aims to defeat all muscle diseases which children are fighting daily. Revenues from fundraising activities are quickly and effectively used to accelerate diagnosis and treatments for children with muscle diseases. Under the motto “Healthy muscles work for sick muscles,” many (former) top athletes support the foundation’s goals.

About Lucas

Lucas (10) has the progressive muscle disease Duchenne. This means his muscles are gradually becoming weaker and will eventually stop functioning altogether. As long as there is no treatment or cure, time is slowly running out for Lucas’s muscles. Or as his mother, Debby, says: “As time moves forward, Lucas keeps falling further behind.” It’s truly a race against time.
