For many of us, daily obstacles might include a long wait in line for coffee, not being able to find a car park close to work or getting that last report finished by a 5pm deadline on a Friday. But for Domenic Bianchi, daily obstacles are a little bit more complex than that. Here is what his mother, Pam Bianchi, has to say: My 23 year old son, Domenic, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy – an aggressive degenerative muscle condition, which affects mostly males. There is no cure. Duchenne allows boys to walk, run and play – and then it takes it all away. Dom has been in a wheelchair since he was 10, taking on life as it comes - pretty casually. These young men pass away in the prime of their lives - average age of survival is mid to late 20’s. So much happens in life between the ages of 10 and 30. There are so many achievements, life experiences and milestones that pass these guys by. One of Doms simple pleasures was food – good food- recently he lost the ability to eat & swallow food. He has now found another passion – landscape photography. Many places are inaccessible to his normal wheelchair. Please help to fund this 4X4 wheelchair so Dom can pursue his dream. If you would like to make a donation towards Domenics 4x4 wheelchair so he can continue to follow his passion for photography, visit the link below:
