In this commercial we hear an eleven year-old boy read out his last will and testament. We hear him explain how he is living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy – an incurable disease that kills boys before they have a chance to grow up.

This radio ad is read by an 11 year-old boy.

Justin:

This is the Last Will and Testament of Justin Edwards, age 11.

To my big brother, Adam, I leave my Xbox and all my games, even the brand new Zombie one.

To my little brother Samuel, I leave my Star Wars Lego X-Wing Fighter.

To Mum & Dad who have always been there for me, and will be there for me until I can’t breathe another breath, I leave you all my drawings. I wish I had more time to draw you something that really shows you how much I love you, but it’s getting so hard to grip my pencils now.

I know I’ll never get the chance to grow up and own a car or a house or make a lot of money. But I’m going to leave everything I have, my entire life savings of $62.90 to the Fight Duchenne Foundation who have always helped me and my family find ways to live with this disease.

Justin G. Edwards
