Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am celebrating my 70th birthday on 21 September and instead of receiving gifts and flowers, I would like to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre (charity number 1148855). The muscular dystrophies sports centre provides physiotherapy and osteopathy to service users with neuromuscular conditions like muscular dystrophy and CMT.

I have the condition CMT1A and I have had this condition since birth. It is a degenerative condition which means that as I grow older my muscles grow weaker because the peripheral nerves that send messages to the muscles die away and the muscles atrophy.

I use the Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre for physiotherapy and osteopathy to help me keep stronger for longer. If it wasn't for the muscular dystrophies support centre I would certainly be a lot weaker.

I hope that you will be able to support my fundraising activity as I reach this milestone age of 70.

Thank you for your support.
