The reason we keep going

Archie’s Last Wish

Archie Naughton died from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in 2022, aged 16. One of DETERMEND’s co-founders is his mother. Archie’s brothers, George and Isaac, still live with Duchenne—and they urgently need the cure Archie wanted for them.

“Please find a cure for George and Isaac—and do not let them suffer like I did.”

DETERMEND was built to help turn that wish into action: to connect a worldwide campaign with charities, businesses, influential voices, funders and investors capable of accelerating the mission to end Duchenne.

€6.6M

The mission is to raise €6.6 million to pursue a cure for the boys. The live campaign has already passed €100,000—and DETERMEND is also seeking a philanthropic investor or funder ready to help unlock the full mission.
