Ayaan, a 12-year-old from Gujarat, India, has captured hearts worldwide with his inspiring journey. Despite being diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) at age eight, his passion for art has flourished. Ayaan's exceptional talent has garnered him a UNESCO Heritage Artist title and accolades, showcasing his love for history and global conflicts. Through his art, he raises awareness about DMD, uniting communities across borders.
Despite the rarity of his disease and the limited availability of treatment options, Ayaan's family, hailing from a modest middle-class background, persisted in their efforts to ensure his medical care. The treatment, Vitilipso, sourced from a UK-based company, provided a ray of hope. Their journey was marked by the unwavering support of countless individuals and communities across India, especially in Gujarat.
A substantial amount of approximately Rs 2.5 to 3 crore as funds were raised. This remarkable achievement has covered the expenses for Ayaan's first year of treatment, resulting in significant improvements in his condition.
Ayaan's remarkable artistic talent, honoured with a UNESCO award, reflects his passion for history and global conflicts. His art transcends borders, raising awareness about DMD worldwide. To support his ongoing treatment and showcase his talent, his parents have organized an art exhibition in Mumbai. It's not just a display of his skills but a call for community support, urging donations to aid in his fight against DMD.
