Antón y Lucas de las Enfermedades Raras en España |
Y pasado mañana cumple cuatro con su hermano Antón...
Su calidad de vida sería nula, no andaría, no comería solo, no podría ir al colegio,...
Las palabras de Blanca y Lucas han tenido este año más impacto en la opinión pública que otros años, y su historia ha emocionado a todo el país.
De la noche a la mañana, Lucas se ha convertido en el "niño de cristal" más famoso de España -hemos podido ver a Lucas en periódicos, en televisión y hasta en las revistas del corazón. Pudimos verlo en el programa de Ana Rosa Quintana, el programa matutino más visto en la televisión nacional.
Cuando Blanca terminó de hablar, Lucas y Antón dijeron al mismo tiempo:
"¡Princesa, tenemos la esperanza!"
Y la princesa respondió:
"Yo seré vuestra voz".
Ese es el poder de la divulgación. Dos niños conocen a una princesa y todo el país encuentra información sobre la OI.
Igual que han hecho Lucas, Antón y su familia en España, tú también puedes dar a conocer la OI el 6 de mayo - Wishbone Day - “porque el conocimiento marca la diferencia”.

Anton and Lucas at Rare Diseases day in Spain |
On 1 March 2012, at the General Council of the Judiciary HQ on Rare Diseases day, HRH Princess Letizia met four-year-old Lucas, who has OI. Alongside his twin brother Anton, Lucas spoke about being just like every other little boy; dancing, playing with friends and having fun:
I’m really looking forward to playing and learning, dancing, laughing and meeting a lot of new friends. I'm happy.
So when adults talk about that I have a rare disease, I do not understand them, because I'm not in bed, I go to school and I'm not sad.
And see if I’m lucky, I'm going to meet a real princess!”
This year on Rare Diseases day, when HRH Princess Letizia chaired the meeting, Lucas and his family raised awareness about people living with Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
Lucas’ mum Blanca said, “We didn’t expect that Lucas would be born...His diagnostics did not come until the birth...
[We were told] He would not live more than a few hours, days, never more than two years...And the day after tomorrow he and his brother Anton will be four years old... Lucas does not need help to eat, he has friends to play with at school. Its follow-up is unpredictable, we know it and we do not care, we know it’s difficult... But we expect diagnostics will be more reliable and accurate.”
Blanca and Lucas’ words had more impact on the public than other years and their story touched the whole country. Suddenly, Lucas became the famous "brittle bone child" of Spain - there were press news and we could see Lucas in television and magazines. He appeared in the Ana Rosa Quintana’s show, the most-watched morning show on national television.
When Blanca finished speaking, Anton and Lucas said together:
"Princess, we have hope!"
The Princess replied,
"I will be your voice".
That is the power of raising awareness!
Two little boys met their Princess and the whole country of Spain found out more about OI!!
Like Lucas, Anton and their family in Spain, you too can raise awareness on 6 May – Wishbone Day – because awareness makes a difference!
