Student Bruno (8) from Wiener Neustadt is battling a muscle disease. A courageous city councilor and her group now helped financially because the treatment costs are enormous…
His name is Bruno, born on October 11, 2016. Bruno is a cheerful, funny boy who is celebrating his birthday today. He is currently studying at the Pestalozzi School in Wiener Neustadt. “I love learning,” says the brave boy – he brings home very good grades.
Rare hereditary disease
Why brave? On January 23, the student felt a severe muscle cramp in his right leg. Several doctors examined him – on February 29 the diagnosis came: Bruno suffered from “DMD” – a hereditary disease in which muscle cells deteriorate. But the little boy wants to continue his life normally and not spend it in a wheelchair. However, the only way to prevent the disease from worsening is to use very expensive therapies in the US or expensive drugs.
The boy’s family then launched a fundraising campaign on the internet platform “GoFundMe”.
Money from “We Women”
Now there was also financial support in Wiener Neustadt: in the presence of the senior doctor of the pediatric department of the clinic in Wiener Neustadt, Birgit Scheicher, and nursing manager Lena Dragos, city councilor Erika Buchinger presented Bruno and his mother with a donation from the pot of the “We Women” campaign. We can only hope that many more donors can be found.
