David is my wonderful son.  He has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), which is a degenerative neuromuscular condition that leads to progressive muscle wasting, and loss of mobility from a young age. 

Currently there is no cure, however The SMA Trust is working with scientists to find one.  There is a small glimmer of hope, with several therapies entering or approaching clinical trials in humans.

I am running the Stockholm Marathon in June 2012 on behalf of the SMA Trust.  Please sponsor me.  Your donation really can make a difference.  Please give generously.
