Gavin is the 2015 Holiday Kids Campaign beneficiary for the Delaware region. When Gavin was two years old, his parents discovered he wasn’t growing properly. He also had delayed speech and mobility. Gavin was soon diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The ATI Foundation will be assisting with a stair lift for his home.
Boys with DMD generally don’t live past their 20s, and the ability to walk is usually lost before they become teenagers. Gavin’s home has become a challenge, as all of the bedrooms are upstairs. His parents need to pick up Gavin and carry him to get to his room. The stair lift cost is about $2,500.
