Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are the Kings Heath and Moseley MD Group Branch who dedicate our time to raising money for the campaign.
CODA The Wonder Horse – winner of 5 Grand Nationals – and Lord Such n’ Such winner of next to nought, will be appearing in the 6.10 at Worcester on May 7th, to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy. Place your bets (sponsorship) on this page to help those less fortunate that you, to improve their odds in life.
We have chosen to do this event for a very special girl who suffers from Ullrich Congenital Muscular dystrophy.
Their story....
Gary and Sarah Bennett, whose daughter, Abbi, has Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, started a fundraising committee which they called Abbi's campaign - one in a million. The name refers to their beautiful daughter and the rare nature of the genetic condition she has which affects only one in every one million babies born. Abbi, was born in February 2008. By six months she wasn't crawling or pulling herself up as other babies do and after various tests and a biopsy, in April 2011 Abbi was diagnosed with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy.While Abbi can walk, she cannot run or jump and she struggles to get up from a seated position. But she is an intelligent and very determined little girl, who sees the best in life and in people, and copes with her condition in a way that is constantly commended by her peers and family alike. It was Abbi who inspired the people around her to fundraise for the charity.
