Doug, an outgoing 26 year old Queenslander, likes football, partying with his mates, and girls. He’s pretty much your average guy except for the fact that he’s confined to a wheelchair. Doug has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a debilitating genetic condition which results in muscle degeneration and eventual death – the average life span for people with his condition is around 25.
