Having recently won a bravery award at the BBC Wiltshire Make A Difference Awards, Carmela met a remarkable gentleman named Nick Clark, a Chelsea Pensioner.

Nick was so in awe of what Carmela has achieved in such a short time, he asked to help Carmela with her next challenge.

Carmela will be walking 3 miles with Nick and 2 other Chelsea Pensioners age 86 and 93 around the Chelsea Royal Hospital who will also walk with Carmela using her walker.

Walking feels like a marathon to people with Muscular Dystrophy and for some types like Carmelas, she will lose the ability to walk all together as her muscles progressively waste away, so this walk for muscles challenge means so much.

Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for 111,000 people living with muscle-wasting conditions. They are making a difference today, providing vital information and support to help people live as independently as possible. They are making a difference for tomorrow, accelerating progress in research and driving the campaign for access to emerging treatments.
