I know a lovely lad called Harry, he's 5. In June this year, Harry was diagnosed with one of the most aggressive forms of Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne. By Harry’s tenth birthday he will be in a wheel chair and his upper body will then begin to shut down due to this rare and painful condition leaving him locked inside his own body. As a muscular degenerative disease eventually his heart will fail, almost certainly before he is 30. The most difficult part - there is no cure, it will happen and it is 100% fatal.

So, I'm running a 10km on 1 December to raise money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, the leading UK charity focused on muscular dystrophy. They are dedicated to finding treatments and cures and improving the lives of adults and children affected by the condition. As well as providing funding for world class research they also provide practical information, advice and support, campaigning to bring about change and raise awareness.

I'm quite new to this running malarky, so I'm just looking to finish in one piece and it isn't going to be pretty! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and please support if you can. To find out more about harry, please visit www.help4harry.co.uk.
