Story
I'm running for my brother, Robin, who has
Myotonic Dystrophy
My Phonebox weighs 15Kg (3 stone) and is made of wood and cardboard. I have a love/hate relationship with my outfit and i have learnt how to run like a penguin inside my box without the use of my arms. Training is quite challenging and definitely confuses many humans and animals running around my local town. I am hoping to get round in under 7 hours before the traffic re-starts.
Muscles.
We use them to move.
Walk, eat, smile, cry.
Pump blood around our bodies.
To breathe in and out.
Our muscles matter.
By fundraising for Muscular Dystrophy UK, I’m helping to fund world-class research into effective treatments, and life changing support for Robin and the other 110,000 people in the UK living with a muscle-wasting condition.
All donations and your support are so greatly appreciated. Thank you!
