Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Emote Mag JustGiving page 


Since Limb Girdle MD has affected my family. I decided to start fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

raising money for vital research into the rare & complex muscle wasting disease is needed.

There is currently no cure for Limb Girdle MD & even less is known of the science of Limb Girdle 2A.

More funds are needed to help this cause & see if together we can raise enough funds to find out exactly how we can potentially treat this muscle wasting & debilitating disease & find out more information on the disease affecting siblings.

LGMD 2A causes progressive muscle weakness & wasting. The rate of progression varies widely & can be mild or severe. LGMD can start at an early age, but it can also start in teens & adulthood. Females are more likely to experience symptoms of the disease between 20-30 & males earlier than this.

  Male & females are equally affected by LGMD.

Some families have two separate mutations & the identity of these mutations are not yet known.

The unknown is stopping potential treatment !!!

The more funds we raise, the quicker we can find a cure for ALL types of Muscular Dystrophy 

Thank You
