Archie, George and Issac Naughton are three gorgeous boys who have a terminal illness called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Join Our Boys trust was set up to raise funds and awareness of the disease. To date, money raised has been used to fund research into developing a treatment and /or cure for the disease and to build a house specifically to meet the needs of the boys.
Sadly all three boys are now in wheelchairs so the need to build the house is now a priority.
We know many have donated already to this cause but we are asking you to help again to put your hand in your pocket and donate even a small amount to help these boys.
Paula and Padraic are two ordinary working people who face an extraordinary situation but do so with courage and strength which is truly admirable.
Lauras three boys attend the same school as the Naughton and have become friends with the family over the years.
Sharon and I would really appreciate any sponsorship you could give for our participation in this years VHI Mini Marathon on June 2nd.
Well done to Sharon Duffy for completing mini marathon and for supporting such a great cause.
Maith sibh!!

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
