Bruno's story

Heiner Bruno is a cheerful boy born on October 11, 2016. In January 2024, he experienced severe muscle cramps in his leg – the subsequent genetic testing confirmed a diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Bruno is currently attending school enthusiastically, studying with great dedication and achieving excellent results – but time is running out.

About Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, congenital, and incurable muscle disease in which muscle cells are gradually replaced by fat and connective tissue. Affected children gradually lose their muscle strength, are usually wheelchair-bound from the age of 10, and later, their heart and respiratory muscles are also affected.
