My birthday is coming up and, instead of buying me a gift, I'm asking that you donate money to a cause I really believe in.  This is one of my favorite causes and your donation will go to a nonprofit that makes a difference.  Not only will they appreciate the donation, but so will I.  Thanks for your birthday wishes and for donating!

I’m a 21 year old young man – living with a terminal illness called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, A muscle wasting illness that hardly gets talked about, causes muscle weakness deterioration overtime and eventually early death, affects mainly the male population but in some rare cases affects female!

Life expectancy is between 16 – 20 years and its one of the biggest killers of mankind.

Honorary president Tudor Thomas from Manchester City Football Club heard about me and my Charity cause through hearing about me making a speech in front of the Rotary Club at Manchester free masons headquarters on Bridge Street which I’ve also done a speech in front of the Inner Wheel Club.

So he decided that he would like to put a lunch on for me in aid of my Charity for my illness Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  On 13th February which will be my 22nd Birthday the lunch will take place where people will help me celebrate my birthday and most importantly raise lots of money which would be the best birthday present I could receive!

Tudor Thomas was very interested to hear about what I’ve done, especially knowing that my granddad played for Manchester City and England in the 1930’s!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

 
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action Duchenne gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

All money we raise goes into medical research only to find a cure for this relentless monster that is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy!

Thank you for your much needed support!
