Fight Against DMD

Fight Against DMD Dedicated to our brave son, Ibrahim, who is battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy — a rare and progressive genetic disorder.

Our mission is to raise awareness, share Ibrahim’s journey, and gather support for his ongoing medical treatment.

06/22/2026

People often ask about the wheelchair.

About the diagnosis.

About what the future might look like.

And while I know those questions come from curiosity, they’re rarely the first things that come to my mind when I think about my son.

I think about his laugh.

The way his eyes light up when he talks about something he loves.

The dreams he still holds close to his heart.

The little moments that make me stop and think, “I couldn’t be more proud of you.”

Ibrahim is living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but he is so much more than DMD.

So the next time you meet a child with a disability, be curious about who they are before you’re curious about their condition.

You might discover that the most beautiful part of their story has nothing to do with their diagnosis at all. 💙

Dad,

Some of my happiest memories have one thing in common…

You.

The laughs we’ve shared.
The adventures we’ve had.
The moments you’ve carried me when I couldn’t carry myself.

You’ve never made me feel different.
You’ve only ever made me feel loved.

And that’s a gift I’ll carry with me forever.

Not every child gets to grow up knowing what unconditional love looks like.

I do.

Because I have you.

Happy Father’s Day.

Love,
Ibrahim 💙

Before Ibrahim, I never understood genetics, chromosomes, or why Duchenne mostly affects boys.

Now I find myself learning about things I never imagined — just to better understand my child and the condition he lives with every single day.

Awareness starts with understanding. 💙

Sometimes awareness means talking about the parts people do not see.

The disease.
The treatment.
And the battles children quietly carry through both. 💙

This morning, I was honestly very anxious.

Making a passport in Pakistan used to feel like such a big hassle, and I kept wondering how we would manage everything with Ibrahim — the crowds, the waiting, the accessibility. It felt overwhelming before we even left home.

But our visit to the Executive Passport Office, Clifton, Karachi turned out to be such a positive and smooth experience. ♿✨

Ibrahim was given priority due to his disability, stayed comfortably in his wheelchair, and they even took his photo while he remained seated. The entire process was completed in hardly 20 minutes, which honestly surprised us.

There was a ramp available — though it was quite steep — but the staff immediately stepped in to help us safely take Ibrahim up and down. A special thank you to the AD, who was extremely kind and supportive throughout.

Grateful for systems that are improving, and for people who make accessibility feel real. Moments like these reduce so much anxiety for families like ours. 💙

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition that leads to progressive muscle weakness, affecting movement, breathing, and overall strength over time.

For us, this journey has a name—Ibrahim. 💙
Through every challenge, he shows us what true resilience looks like.

Raising awareness isn’t just about information—it’s about understanding, support, and hope for better treatments in the future.

Every step he takes is a reminder: strength isn’t just physical, it’s in courage, patience, and love.

Some memories are beautiful… but they hurt a little too much.

Sometimes I go back and watch his old videos…
Sometimes I close my eyes and try to remember how he looked when he used to walk.

But some days, that thought hurts a little too much.

So I remind myself — I have to be strong for him.
And truth is… he’s the strong one.

Once, we were passing by and I asked,
“Ibrahim, do you see the football statue?”
He immediately pointed towards it. That’s when I said,
“Oh wow, Ibrahim… you may be a great footballer someday.”

He smiled and said,
“No mommy… I can’t be a footballer because I can’t walk.”

For a second, my heart broke.
But then I said, “That’s okay… you’ll be an artist, because you’re already so amazing at drawing… and the way you build your little Lego worlds, maybe one day you’ll be an architect.”

And I know he will be. 🤍

There’s a quiet confidence in him when he learns like this—
familiar space, gentle pace, and a whole lot of curiosity…
online classes might feel like a hassle for some,
but for Ibrahim, they bring comfort, accessibility,
and the freedom to learn in a way that feels right for him.
With DMD, that makes all the difference ✨
