Phil and Julie set up their Family Fund for their son Harrison. They want to raise awareness and help fund research into finding a cure for Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD).

Story

Harrison was diagnosed with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) at the age of 4. He has always struggled to climb the stairs, run and jump. Over the years it has slowly got progressively harder for him to do these activities. He always tries his best to lead a normal life and join in where he can and rarely complains or gets upset by his limitations.

As a parent of a child with a life limiting condition it is heart-breaking to watch him struggle and not being able to tell him everything will be ok, when there is no certainty it will. All we can do is keep smiling. And with the help of MDUK, friends, and family, raise as much money as possible to help the scientists try to find a treatment or cure.

Your donations will be split 80/20 between MDUK's research into Becker muscular dystrophy and to help support Hope4Harrison with future welfare needs.
