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.
