I am going to give it my all to try to raise £20k for Duchenne UK.
Currently 3 events have been raised:
1) A curry night
2) I buzz cut shaved all my hair off
3) Charity boxing match
For those who are unaware, Duchenne UK is an amazing charity that does a lot of work and raising awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a devastating muscle wasting disease and is the most common genetic killer of children worldwide. There is no treatment or cure. Children will be totally paralysed by their teens and won’t live beyond their 20s. But thanks to recent breakthroughs, we believe we can save them. For more information on DMD, visit: www.duchenneuk.
Duchenne is an amazing charity that does a lot of work and raising awareness for muscular dystrophy.
A friend of mine son had been diagnosed with this condition and it wasn’t until I started researching it made me realise there isn’t that much awareness so by even doing this if we can get people more aware of the condition as well as raise money that would be great.
