Embarking on the monumental Seven Hills of Edinburgh challenge, I am driven by a heartfelt commitment to support Alex's Wish, an incredible charity dedicated to finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. With every step of the 27-kilometer journey and 800 meters of elevation, I aim to make a meaningful impact in the fight against this devastating disease. Together, we can climb towards a future where medical breakthroughs offer hope and healing to those affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Join me in this journey of resilience, determination, and unwavering support for a brighter tomorrow. Your generosity can truly make a difference in the lives of those living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Alex's Wish has a mission to eradicate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Duchenne which affects 1 in every 3,500 boys born. DMD is a devastating aggressive fatal muscle wasting disease which leaves children completely paralysed by late teens.

Duchenne is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, boys are born with the condition and it can affect any family. Boys are missing a vital protein and as a result every single muscle in their body is destroyed. It is 100% fatal and most boys are only expected to live until their mid-twenties due to heart and respiratory complications.

Alexs Wish founder Emma Hallam set-up the charity shortly after being told not enough funding is going into research to bring about effective treatments to help delay symptoms.

They alongside other UK charities are making huge strides and now for the first time in history, this generation could be either the last to die or the first to survive this devastating illness.
