Ken Sparnon's Muscular Dystrophy Fundraising Page.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising Website. Please dig deep and sponsor us online. for THE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY CAMPAIGN
Muscular Dystrophy refers to a group of genetic, hereditary muscle diseases that cause progressive muscle weakness. Muscular Dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue. Nine diseases including Duchenne, Becker, Limb Girdle, Congenital, Facioscapulohumeral, Myotonic, Oculopharyngeal, Distal, and Emery-Dreifuss are always classified as Muscular Dystrophy but there are more than 100 diseases in total with similarities to Muscular Dystrophy. Most types of MD are multi-system disorders with manifestations in body systems including the heart, gastrointestinal and nervous systems, endocrine glands, skin, eyes and other organs.
This is a terrible disease, with male sufferers rarely living beyond their teen years.
I have done Fundraisers for MD before and I have now set this site up in the hope to Target/Raise £500 by the End of December 2016.
On 10th July 2011 i am doing the Great North (10 mile) Walk, which takes place in Guisborough. I have sponsor forms on the go and those that can't sponsor me that way, can do so via this webpage.
If you can would you Please help me reach my Target by Donating via the DONATE NOW button as every little helps no matter how small.
Once you click the button follow the on screen instructions and your donation goes directly to THE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY CAMPAIGN.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Muscular Dystrophy Campaign will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
