* Challenge for Charlie *
Essentially to give Charlie Experiences to allow us to create Memories
All, Thank you - since the completion of funds for the the Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle
https://au.gofundme.com/f/charlie039s-hope-wheelchair-accessible-vehicle Any / future funds will be raised here are for Experiences and Memories in what is most likely 11 Year old Charlie's short lifetime - Average age for any child with DMD is just 26 years old - Charlie also had PHPV : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_hyperplastic_primary_vitreous#:~:text=Persistent%20hyperplastic%20primary%20vitreous%20(PHPV,and%20hyaloid%20vasculature%20to%20regress. this being compounded as Charlie has already had 1 Cataract removed & inocular lense inserted - a second cataract is forming on his left eye - due to steroid usage for DMD - essentially the double edge sword. we call Charlie the 1 in 7.8 Billion boy! - DMD & PHPV - DMD Exon 3 Duplicated - each boy with DMD has a variation of Exon Deleted or Duplicated.
Exon range 1-79, dystrophin as a protein flows through the body normally
any deletion or duplication Causes DMD
Charlie we believe is the only person in the world with both DMD & PHPV! with a Second Cataract forming, so the Challenge for Charlie is on.
