<p><span class="messageBody">Hi everyone! I've decided to climb Kilimanjaro in October in memory of my brother Greg, who had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and sadly died in August 2005 aged 19 years.</span></p>
<p><span class="messageBody">The money I raise will help to fund research into new treatments and hopefully a cure for all types of MD. </span></p>
<p><span class="messageBody">For anyone who knew Greg, or knows anyone with MD, you will understand what a devastating condition it is, for the person affected and for their families and friends who have to watch them deteriorate over the years and ultimately die long before their proper time.</span></p>
<p><span class="messageBody">Despite all the challenges he faced Greg was a total trooper and rarely complained. He just got on with things and never saw himself as a victim, lessons we can all learn from when things get a bit too much for us. I want to complete this challenge for him, and for all the other families who are affected by this condition.</span></p>
<p><span class="messageBody">I realise that times are tight at the moment but every pound you donate will help get me closer to my target of £3650 and also closer to finding a cure for this horrible disease. You can donate via text (modern technology hey!) using the code KILM84 and the value you want to donate £?? to 70070, or alternatively through my 'Just Giving' page! I appreciate anything you can give.</span></p>
<p><span class="messageBody">Thanks in advance ;o)</span></p>
