Eileen McCallum, one of Scotland's best known actresses is on a journey of hope for her Grandchildren who have the progressive condition Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

At the age of 72, unlike most of her contemporaries, Eileen McCallum can't slow down. She continues to work as an actress full time while campaigning tirelessly to raise awareness of the progressive condition Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Both Eileen's Grandsons Milo and Daniel Kirk have this condition. Currently there is no cure. 

In this story we follow Eileen as she juggles her busy filming schedule in the BBC drama 'River City' with that of helping her daughter Sarah, a single parent, look after the boys. We get a rare glimpse into her life as she lobbies the Scottish Parliament, accompanies her youngest grandson to Newcastle as he undergoes medical trials, and travels to Denmark to see the care they provide for boys with DMD there.

Share Eileen's worries, her sadness and her joy in caring for her beloved young Grandsons in her special story, ‘Balaich Eileen' (Eileen's Boys).
