In September 2014 our friends little boy Mitch was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. 

This explains why he finds it hard to keep up with his friends, why he falls down a lot and why he tires easily.

 
There's no cure for Mitchell's condition and the natural course of the disease means that his muscles will waste away over time as his body is not able to make the muscle stabiliser dystrophin. At some point he'll
lose the ability to walk.

Mitch is like any other little boy. He knows he has poorly muscles
and that they can't be fixed. He wants to run as fast as his friends and
not get 'worned out' so quickly. He wishes that Santa could fix his
muscles, or that there was 'just some medicine that will magic it all
better'. 

Unfortunately there isn't....yet. 

I'll be completing the National 3 Peaks walk in 24 hours (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, Snowdon) over the August Bank Holiday weekend, 2 weeks later I'll be running the Great North Run. 

I've got the muscles to do this, please donate so Mitch and others may have the chance.
