Red Deer teen with muscular dystrophy lives dream of riding exotic car
The law of attraction says those who put positivity into the world, will get it back. For young Aiden Miller, the Red Deer community gave it back in the form of one of his lifelong dreams: a ride in an exotic sports car.
At 13-years-old, Miller has suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) since the age of two, a genetic disorder leading to rapid muscle deterioration.
Although the disorder limits Aiden’s physical capabilities, his resilient positivity is unbreakable.
“Sometimes, there are people that are just out there to destroy people’s lives because they think it’s funny but I’ve learnt to counter that and think against that,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what people say, I just have to think about the good things that people do say and [what] the friends that I have made do say because there are many people there that are trying to help me.”
