Riley Kaye has a rare terminal illness known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The mother of a five-year-old boy from a village near Lincoln is determined to raise awareness of his rare terminal illness to help others going through the same as her family. Lyndsey Kaye’s son Riley was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) when he was three-years-old. At the time he was under observation for autism, as he wasn’t yet speaking and a blood test found high levels of CK (creatine kinase). It was believed he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy and he was referred to a specialist at Queen’s Medical Centre, who told the family Riley had the condition. It means Riley’s body does not produce a protein called dystrophin, which is needed for muscle function.
