Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are taking park in the Spartan Sprint in April as a team to help raise money for Muscular Dystrophy UK. The Spartan Sprint is an 20 obstacle course across the North Downs Countryside.  

A small number of people will know just what Muscular Dystrophy UK means to me.  For those of you that do not, it means friends, support and vital help, I have received far more than I have given so this year I have roped in my younger sister Stacey and my younger brother CJ and a very good friend from work Pauline. 

Last year, Muscular Dystrophy UK met three very important milestones due to the drive from supporters and families.  The first one was a hard fought campaign that saw the first drug to target one of the underlying genetic causes of Duchenne, making it available to all eligible boys in the UK, the second milestone was the licensing by the FDA, the US regulator of a drug that uses exon skipping and finally women will have the choice and opportunity to use IVF Mitochondrial transfer. 

The Charity helps people in each town and village, city and county of the UK, people just like me, to continue with coming to work, to enjoy going to the cinema, to get access to asistive technology or to just watch their local football team.  

Help is needed to fund research to defeat Muscular Dystrophy and related Neuromuscular Conditions.  It is only through public donations that the charity can continue to fund vital research work to help find treatments and cures for muscle diseases which would help change the lives of thousands of people across the UK.  

Everything the charity does is designed to improve the quality of life for individuals and families and they will not stop until effective treatments and cures are found for all muscle wasting conditions.

Please dig deep and give what you can, no matter how small because muscles matter and so do the lives of 70,000 adults and children up and down the country.

Thank you
