Time “just to be himself”

“By far the greatest emotional challenge is trying to offer support to Kirath as he travels on his journey of self realisation that he is never going to be 'just one of the boys'. His inability to keep up with his friends in the playground, or participate in soft play at parties, or even just climb the stairs at home to go to bed - these are all daily reminders of his growing physical weakness as his muscles continue to degenerate.

Translarna would buy precious time for Kirath just to be himself.” Jaspal Mann
