Catherine's STEPtember

Catherine Hall is raising money for JOINING JACK
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

STEPtember · 11 August 2016

Joining Jack has the ultimate aim of finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, one of the most common fatal genetic conditions in the world. Recent scientific breakthroughs mean that the development of a treatment is closer than ever, and this will not only help Jack but all sufferers of DMD.

Story

Most of you will know I've not always been the fittest of people but over the last year this has changed massively and I thought it was about time to put this to good use. 

I've decided to commit to walking a minimum of 10,000 steps every day from 31st August to 29th September  inclusive  (I have a prior engagement on 30th September that will make it difficult for me to hit this target hence starting a day earlier). 

This is especially poignant for Joining Jack and Duchenne kids as the ability to walk is gradually taken away from them by the disease and are usually confined to a wheelchair by the age of 10, continuing to deteriorate eventually losing the ability to breathe, usually before reaching adulthood. 

Joining Jack is dedicated to finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ultimately giving these kids a chance of a normal life. 

Anything you can spare will be gratefully received and put to good use.
