I'm participating in Hell & Back to support Team Archie #TEAMARCHIE

Archie is a little boy who just wants to run, play football, and enjoy life like any other child his age. But this Christmas, everything changed for him and his family.

In December 2024, Archie was diagnosed with an ultra-rare condition: Muscular Dystrophy (MD). Affecting just 1 in 5,000 to 10,000 people, MD weakens the muscles in his arms, legs, shoulders, and hips. Without timely treatment, it will take away his ability to walk, stand, and do everyday tasks—eventually leaving him dependent on a wheelchair.

That’s why, together with Fairstone (my employer), we’ve launched #TEAMARCHIE. We’re rallying a community to help Archie get the care he needs. Our goal is to raise €150,000 euros and send him to the U.S. for pioneering treatment—giving him the chance to keep being the active, joyful little boy he is.
