Our beautiful Son George was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy just before his 4th birthday. The news was devastating and at first it felt like our world had imploded. With time, we learned to accept the diagnosis and our attention turned to concentrating on giving George the best and most enjoyable life possible. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a life-limiting muscle-wasting condition, for which there currently is no cure. MDUK are at the forefront of research into muscular dystrophy and we are fundraising specifically for research into Duchenne along with making provision for Georges future care needs. We want to raise as much money as possible for the vital research, which will hopefully find a cure for this terrible and heartbreaking disease. 80% of the funds will go towards research, with the remaining 20% held in trust for Georges future care needs, which will become extensive as he grows older.
