Family launch swimming fundraiser to make home wheelchair friendly for their son

Zach Masterson, aged 8, was diagnosed with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, a muscle wasting disease, as a toddler. His mobility has worsened significantly in the past six months and he is now almost fully reliant on a wheelchair.

Zach's parents Derek and Jacquie need to create a downstairs bedroom and make their hallway wheelchair accessible. The couple have been saving for the past few years but the renovations will cost upwards of €50,000.
