We chose to fundraise for Join Our Boys Trust because these three brothers and their parents need our support to build a purpose built facility that will house them in the future, equipped with all the equipment and facilities they will need to cope with changes as a result of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This family are brave and beautiful, strong and stalwart, caring and committed. They want to find a cure to help Archie, George and Issac beat this disease, as well as helping others who live with the knowledge that young lives may be cut short without it. Four out of five of our fundraising team are from Roscommon and the Kerry buddy has cousins in Roscommon so we decided to support this worthy 'close to home' charity for this years Mini Marathon in Dublin on 5th June. We are so looking forward to the day and really appreciate all your support, no matter how much you donate. Thank you from us and a massive Thank YOU from Join Our Boys Trust! xxxxx
Archie, George and Issac are the 3 children of Paula and Padraic Naughton who live in Roscommon. On the 9th of November 2012 their lives & dreams were changed beyond comprehension. The dreams they had for their boys were changed forever. A diagnosis of Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is devastating. It is a 100% fatal, neuromuscular disease that affects 1 in every 3,500 boys and each year 20,000 children worldwide are born with DMD; 99% of these are boys. There are no words to describe h
