Story

I`m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Harrison's Fund, a charity which works bridge the gap between needing Mental Health support due to a devastating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) diagnosis and accessing the NHS services you and your family need.

Mental health therapy can be immensely beneficial for families. Coping with such a diagnosis can be emotionally overwhelming, and therapy offers a safe space for family members to express their feelings, fears, and concerns.

Through counselling and support, therapy can help families develop coping strategies, strengthen communication, and foster resilience during the challenging journey ahead. Moreover, it provides a platform to educate family members about DMD, its progression, and available resources, enabling them to make informed decisions for their loved one's care.

Overall, mental health therapy empowers families to navigate the complexities of DMD with a greater sense of understanding, unity, and emotional well-being.
