Amir is an amazing 9 year old boy who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Although every day is a challenge for Amir, this never stops him achieving the things he wants to do. Amir always perseveres and never gives up. 

Amir's love for cooking started as an activity to help boost his confidence within school. He came up with the idea to help raise money for Muscular Dystrophy UK, which is a charity very close to his heart, he bakes for the staff weekly in exchange for a  small donation for his chosen charity. 

Amir's original target was £100 but to our surprise, he has beaten this five times over and the money is still coming in. The joy Amir feels to be raising money for this wonderful charity is amazing to see and it has really  boosted his confidence. It makes Amir happy that he knows this money is going to help other boys and girls in similar situations to him.

Amir would like to raise money not only for those with muscular dystrophy like himself but also to support their families.

If you are wondering what the money will help with, it will help towards:

• £15 could help families receive reliable information on muscular dystrophy.
• £30 for families that could get specialist physio to help learn techniques to maintain mobility
• £60 could support research into treatments and cures for muscle-wasting conditions. 

We would like to say a big thank you to those supporting Amir in his fundraising.
