Meet the Corr Family

I think the magic that Ruairi has is his tremendous desire to laugh, to have a good time...He takes every single opportunity to go out and have a good time, to be a young man, to enjoy himself.

Aaron Corr

Deirdre opens up about how they pushed for ALD testing for their two sons, Ruairi and Thomas, after they were both diagnosed with Addison’s Disease.
