Story

<p>Our darling son James was diagnosed with this severe muscle wasting disease in January 2014 when he was just 7. </p><p>It is a progressive condition and there is currently no cure.Without a cure, by the time he is a teenager James will lose the ability to walk. Without a cure he will eventually lose all muscle function in his body. Like all boys with Duchenne, the harsh reality is that without a cure he will die in his late twenties or early thirties from heart or respiratory failure.</p><p>Together we can make a difference. Please donate as much or as little as you can afford and help us in our fight. Help us fund the vital research needed to find a cure for this terrible disease. We believe they will find a cure with your help. #ifightforjames</p><p>Thank You from Sean and Liz Keenan - James' Mummy and Daddy</p>
