Meet Daniel, a financial planner from Adelaide, football fan and someone who believes life is about purpose, connection and making the most of every opportunity.

This Becker Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Week, we’re sharing his story. For years, Daniel kept his diagnosis private. On his 30th birthday, he decided to share his lived experience publicly, hoping to raise awareness and encourage others to keep dreaming and doing what they love.

On 31 October, Daniel’s sister, Sarah, is holding a fundraising event Move for Muscles, in support of her brother and others living with neuromuscular conditions. Funds raised from this event will contribute to raising greater awareness and education around neuromuscular conditions.
