Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.

As some of you are aware, I like a challenge and have decided to compete in the Jedburgh Three Peaks Ultra Marathon (38 miles mainly on trail and cross country) on 29th October. More importantly, I will be raising funds for our Family Fund with Muscular Dystrophy UK - Georgie's Genes.

Our daughter Georgie was diagnosed with L-CMD in November 2014. L-CMD is a very rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy caused by a mutation in the lamin A/C gene which leads to progressive muscle weakness of the skeletal, respiratory and heart muscles. L-CMD is so rare that there is little knowledge about the disease progression and there are only a handful of children in the UK that have the condition. By participating in this event I hope to raise funds to support the research and development into this, as yet, incurable condition.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity, Georgie's Genes Family Fund with Muscular Dystrophy UK. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
