Every breath is priceless

A diagnosis of an incurable neuromuscular disease can often disrupt life.


Not for the Beaulieu family.


When their two sons Ross, 20, and Finn, 16, were diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, parents Michelle and Steve decided the family would remain the adventurous travelers they’ve always been.


The life-threatening genetic disorder weakens the body’s muscles, including those that support heart and lung function, but the brothers stay mobile because of their Astral™ life support ventilators.


“For us, every day, every moment, every breath is priceless, and we’ll cherish it for as long as we can,” says Michelle.
