We fund research into potential treatments and cures for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a devastating genetic muscle-wasting disease that leads to paralysis, heart and lung failure and early death for all sufferers. We get involved to make a difference for all Duchenne sufferers. Help us find a cure.

Story

Hi,


Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I understand it is short notice, but this weekend, together with some girlfriends, I am taking part in the British 10k Run in aid of the GM Trust.

The GM Trust was established when Gavriel Meir, a 5 year old boy was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  DMD is a degenerative and as yet, incurable muscular wasting disease, which boasts a tragic 100% fatality rate.  The objective of the trust is to promote research into the treatment, cure, care and welfare of those suffering from DMD.  

There is now enough evidence to suggest that we are on the verge of a major breakthrough.  However, we are truly in a race against time and we have to support and push the medical world to increase their efforts in research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy to find a cure for Gavriel and 1000's of others like him before it is too late.

Thank you for supporting me and the GM Trust.
