Aoife’s Fight for Skyclarys Approval | Galway News

from Galway News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Aoife Quinn, a 23-year-old from Galway living with the rare, fatal genetic disease Friedreich’s Ataxia, is fighting for time as doctors predict she may not live past forty. Diagnosed at 18, her condition already impacts her mobility, speech, and heart — but she refuses to blame her parents, who unknowingly carried the gene. Now, Aoife is leading a desperate campaign to get the promising drug Skyclarys approved by Ireland’s HSE, urging the government to override cost concerns and act fast — because for her and 200 others, this treatment could mean the difference between slowing decline or losing everything.
