Story

<p>Thanks for taking a look at our page. Chilla's brother Benny is affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a progressive neuromuscular condition that has stopped him walking and affects all muscles in his body on some level. A group of us - Chilla, Claire, Emma, India, Jade, Nicky, Tash and Verity - are walking from Oxford University to the SMA Trust's HQ near Shipston on Stour, some 40+ miles cross-country in October weather, to do our bit to help Benny and other children like him.</p> <p>The SMA Trust does great work to help fund research into therapies for SMA. Much of that work takes place at Oxford University where the Trust has recently co-funded the establishment of a new Chair overseeing neuromuscular research efforts. So we are starting at the labs and ending at the Trust's HQ.</p> <p>So please donate now!</p>
