Personal Request from Embassy of Ukraine in UK
26 May 2008
To whom it may concern
Dear Sirs,
In November 2007 Dmytro, grandson of Viktor Shportko, the People’s Artist of Ukraine, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The Institute of Genetics (Ukraine) and Hammersmith Hospital in London have initiated a program “AVI 4658 Antisense” carried out by Professor Francesco Muntoni which successfully cured 9 boys with such a rare and serious condition. Only “AVI 4658 Antisense”treatment can help Dmytro to survive.
Taking into consideration the seriousness of the problem and especially when we are talking about the child’s life, Professor Francesco Muntoni has agreed to Dmytro’s thorough health examination and further treatment that can last for 3 to 4 months. Cost of treatment course estimates approximately GBP 100,000.
We do hope that this problem can be solved by early beginning of the medical treatment course, for which additional funds are very much needed.
