Since Arran was born, he has lived with a rare disease called Alpha-1. This experience has forced him to face every challenge in order to manage his condition and continue living my dreams.

La LovexAir Foundation helps not only Arran but also its greater community.

Arran identifies with HappyAir Smart Community because it is designed to help empower those who may have given up hope of achieving their own ambitions or dreams, helping them learn how to better care for themselves and feel loved and supported by many others.

Arran's challenge in 2019 is to train for and compete in the Iron Man in Lisbon, Portugal on September 29 as a demonstration of motivation and self-improvement, undeterred by the challenges faced by Alpha-1 and other health complexities over the past year.

This year Arran is raising funds for the Lovexair Foundation and the HappyAir SmartCommunity who are working on a research project, in collaboration with 4 hospitals in Barcelona and their pediatric pulmonologists, to help children with severe asthma manage their disease.
