Abseiling for Alexs Wish · 11 June 2022 ·
I am so excited and incredibly nervous for this event. I'm not one of heights, so this is really going to challenge me. But, I've done two sky dives, zipwire challenges and done a loop the loop with AeroSparx, so I'm ready to try something new!!
Alex's Wish is so close to my heart, I set the charity up almost 10 years ago. Why? Because Alex is son has Duchenne, it is a complex muscle wasting condition and I see how he struggles every single day living with it. We need a cure, not just for him, but for every single child and young adult living with it. He is so incredibly brave every day, so this challenge is important to me, to show him how much I love him and will do literally anything to change the outcome of this disease.
Alex's Wish is a charity set-up to eradicate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an aggressive form of Muscular Dystrophy that affects 1 in every 3,500 boys born. Every single muscle is destroyed due to a lack of protein. It also affects the heart and lungs as these are muscles too. Alex's Wish was set-up by Emma and Andy Hallam (parents to Alex) in late 2012 to help raise vital funds to help bring about new treatments and ultimately a cure for this devastating condition.
