Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Hi Folks
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Trust 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.
A note on Duchene Muscular Dystrophy -
MDM is a muscle wasting disease affecting around 100 boys born in the UK each year. It is the most severe forms of 1, in over 20 types of Muscular Dystrophy. It’s a degenerative condition which eventually leads to lack of mobility as the child gets older. Signs appear in early years as they struggle to walk for long periods of time and their physical progression does not match to those of their peers. Between the ages of eight and eleven, they lose their ability to walk and have a shortened life expectancy. My good friend Jodie struggles with this condition daily with her son, Will.
He is the most fabulous seven year old boy who’s been apart of my life since he was born. To watch him grow up into the little man he is now, has been a both wonderful and difficult experience. It’s hard to chose a charity to raise funding for when there are so many awesome and deserving ones out there, but watching someone close who is determined for researchers to find a cure, for what currently is an incurable disease, gives me hope that with funding they’ll succeed. Right now hope is all we have, and this is the least I can do.
Will’s mother, Jodie, has campaigned in London for MDM and has continued to try and find ways to provide as much knowledge on Muscular Dystrophy across the country. Determined not to give up, she even managed to get a front page spread in the local paper, as well as an interview on ITV news. An acquaintance laughed at her when she said she was determined for her voice to be heard. And we all heard it… at tea time, when her interview came on the telly. I’m very proud of her.
I really hope you guys can help me out with raising money for this charity. Sponsor as much, or as little as you want (although just been told it's at least £2) Even if you just read up on the condition would mean a lot to me.
Thank you so much for your support.
Much Love
Steph :)
