MY STORY

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most fatal muscle wasting disease with no cure.

It affects mainly boys and is only passed on from mother to son.

The condition is not well publicised which is why I started my boxing YouTube channel (Sporting Icons) 5 years ago when my little boy got diagnosed and I wanted to help promote knowledge of the disease.

Life expectancy can be anywhere from 10 years old to a maximum 40 years old.

It starts off with minor symptoms which will eventually deteriorate the muscles until the need to use a wheelchair full time.

THE EVENT

On the 30th October with some help from my friends we're spending the night in England's most haunted building to help raise as much as we can for this incredible charity.

If you like boxing and The paranormal you can join us live all night for this Halloween spooktackula event. Watch some great professional boxers and paranormal Investigators go toe to toe with the ghosts of Chillingham castle.

You can support fundraising efforts by taking part in this event or donating to this page.

Please give anything you can spare to help support the research of Muscular Dystrophy
All donations will go straight to Muscular Dystrophy UK.


THE CHARITY

They bring together people affected by more than 60 rare and very rare progressive muscle-weakening and wasting conditions. They provide vital information, advice, resources and support for people with these conditions, their families and the professionals who work with them.

There is currently no cure but there is hope. The support you give will go to fund research into potential cures and therapies.
