Thank you for visiting the Struggle Against Muscular Dystrophy (S.A.M.) Justgiving Fundraising Page.
Muscular Dystrophy is a heartbreaking progressive muscle wasting disease which is 100% fatal. In its congenital form the disease leads to severe muscle wasting, causing children to become dependent on wheelchairs at a very early age. As the muscles continue to waste children become quadriplegic, they suffer from scoliosis and painful muscle contractures and eventually lose the ability to breathe and eat without assistance. There is currently no treatment and no cure. S.A.M. aims to increase awareness of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy through fundraising, education and campaigning. Our hope of a future for the children suffering from this devastating muscle wasting disease lies in research. Please help by giving what you can. We are a zero cost charity - everyone involved gives their time, expertise, products and services for free. This means that every penny we raise can go directly towards funding research into Muscular Dystrophy with the aim of bringing us one step closer to an effective treatment for this devastating disease.Sam McCausland (pictured) was the inspiration behind the charity Struggle Against Muscular Dystrophy....
