<p>The little man in the picture is my nephew George. He's one year old and sadly, it doesn't look like he's ever going to be able to walk.</p> <p>This seems pretty unfair - especially if you've met George - and I'm absolutely gutted for him. It's because he's one of only 100 people a year who are diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a genetic condition that stops signals from his brain reaching his muscles properly. He can sit up and use his arms, and we really hope that's not going to change.</p> <p>The Jennifer Trust is the only UK charity helping those affected by this condition. They support families and promote research.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jtsma.org.uk/">www.jtsma.org.uk</a></p> <p>And don't think that I'm cheating by picking a cycling event! The Fred Whitton is one of the hardest road rides in the UK and it's one of the only things I've done on a bike that I'm nervous about. That's partly because it's a road ride and I'm going to be bored out of my mind, but mainly because it goes over Hardknott Pass (1 in 3!) after 95 hilly miles...</p> <p>Please give George your money. If you don't, his twin brother Harry is getting pretty enormous (and loud) and will come round and howl at you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
