Support Liam Layt Through Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Donation protected
On behalf of Adrian Layt and his family, Mr Racing has created this fundraiser to help support Liam through his life long battle.

Liam has been diagnosed with a condition called, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy which is incurable. This horrible disease is a muscle-wasting condition where the muscles don't repair themselves when damaged. Liam is currently on steroids to help keep his muscles strong but will eventually lose all mobility.

Heart failure is a very common cause of death, and the life expectancy of late teens to 25 tops.


A Little About This Strong Young Boy:

Liam is one of 3 boys (Charlie, Liam and Rocko) Adrian has, and he absolutely loves his footy. He is currently playing for the North Devils under-7's, where on Saturday he scored a try and got man of the match. He loves the races, (thanks to Dad no doubt) and supports the NQ Cowboys and the Penrith Panthers. We have been told Liam is an excellent student at school, where he excels in his work and enjoys being around his classmates in grade 1. Adrian moved his 3 boys to Townsville for the warmer client to help with Liam's condition, which the warmer climate seems to be doing great for his body at this time.

Sometimes Liam has to use his wheelchair when his legs hurt and sleeps with a leg brace to keep his feet upright and not lose strength in them. With such a tough trot, he is still a very happy kid with a big personality.

Liam's recent checkups in Brisbane were good, but the family is just waiting for the downward spiral, as the older he gets, the less time he has.

Your generosity will help Liam through his battle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and aid in getting a breathing apparatus to help him breathe and clear the lungs, similar to how we cough. The family will need to buy a van to assist with the wheelchair and, of course, house modifications to help with Liam's daily activities. Backup power will need to be installed in case of a blackout for Liam's breathing apparatus, wheelchair access, and reinforced bathroom to help lift him in and out of the bath just to name a few.

These are just a couple of modifications they will need to make to their family home, which could cost upwards of $200,000.

As the days go on, this strong and happy little boy's life will get harder.

We thank you for helping in any way possible to give Liam the best possible life a little boy can have.
