Superman Scooter airbrushed for Lucas.

A little while ago we met Lucas, an 8 year old boy who is suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, he brought us his mobility scooter which he was embarrassed to use and asked if we could help. With the help of Josh who handled all of the prep and clear, we donated our time to 'pimp up' his ride and transform it into a Superman themed scooter. It was such a pleasure to be able to do this for Lucas and we hope that he enjoy's both his new scooter and the airbrush equipment and paints generously donated by Anest Iwata Australia, Trident Paints and DNA custom paints . 

Thank-You to everyone involved, it felt amazing to put a smile on little Lucas's face and to do something so positive for him. 😜

Lucas's story

A couple of days ago we had the pleasure of meeting Lucas, who has come to Airbrush Asylum with a wish to make his scooter look cool, together with the help of Josh Schuster who will handle prep, paint and clear as well as everyone here at Airbrush Asylum, we are going donate our time and materials to help Lucas realise his dream and turn his scooter into a 'superman' themed ride. 

Here's a little info about Lucas's condition and why we are so passionate about putting a smile on his face.

Lucas is an 8 year old boy who has a terminal illness. 

He was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy 3 years ago. DMD is a muscle degenerative condition that primarily affects boys. 

Boys are born seemingly normal and reach all their milestones although by the age of 8 they start to struggle to walk, run, play sport and do what all other healthy boys are doing. By the age of 12 they are confined to a wheelchair. They lose their upper body muscles in their teens and rely on a ventilator to breath! 

Life expectancy is early to mid 20's although some boys do succumb in their teens. Lucas was diagnosed with this horrible condition, he has been given an electric scooter to use as he struggles to walk long distances. 

Lucas is not using his scooter because he has been teased and is embarrassed as it looks like an 'old persons' scooter.

This is why his Mum has reached out to us and we are excited to make Lucas's scooter the envy of everyone at his school and make him proud to want to use it.
