Story
Hi my names Jessica Mainds and i am 10 years old. On the 21st of July i am going to get my hair cut and donate it to The little Princess Trust. I thought this would also be a good way to raise some money to help someone. Nathan is the same age as me and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common and the most severe form of MD. It affects about 1 out of every 3,500 boys. (Girls can carry the gene that causes the disease, but they usually have no symptoms.) This form occurs because of a problem with the gene that makes dystrophin. Without this protein, the muscles break down and a child becomes weaker.Children with Duchenne MD usually begin to have problems around age 5, as the pelvic muscles begin to weaken. Most kids with this form need to use a wheelchair by age 12. Over time, their muscles weaken in the shoulders, back, arms, and legs.Eventually, the respiratory (breathing) muscles and heart muscle also may weaken in the teenage years, requiring further treatment.Advances in medical care are helping kids with Duchenne to live longer and healthier lives.
I am raising money to help with equipment Nathan will need to give him a better quality of life.
Thankyou all for your support.
Jessica ❤️
