    We will celebrate your life to the last second. Our job is making you smile. Growing up, knowing that you won't be able to move or breath by yourself and watching your mom fighting cancer is not easy. But growing up, knowing that you'll die young, as your brothers did, is extremely hard. Pepe, used to have 2 brothers, Fran and Jani. The three of them with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, an inherited disease. This kind of life, is only for the strongest human, happiness and love are choices.
