Parents plead for approval of 'vital drug' to slow down their son's muscular dystrophy

Archie Ennis: His parents have so far raised nearly €600,000 to fund specialist gene therapy.

The mother of a child seeking treatment abroad for an incurable muscle-wasting disease is urging the Government to help secure a vital drug which would slow down the progression of her son's disease.

Earlier this year, Una Ennis took to social media with a heartfelt plea for funds so she could access specialist treatment abroad, following her seven-year-old son Archie’s muscular dystrophy diagnosis.
