My nephew George is 5 years old and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I am running the London Marathon to raise money for Action Duchenne - a charity dedicated to finding a cure for this killer condition.
It's harsh, but without a cure boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy are likely to be in a wheel chair by 10yrs, paralysed in their teens, and die in their late teens or early 20s.
Research is at a really critical stage and for the first time ever there is a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel. Help us to keep up the momentum and raise urgently needed funds!
Thank you
