As some of you know and for those that don’t, our little superstar Charlie was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at just 9 months old. Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases that cause muscles to weaken and waste away over time. Charlie was a perfectly healthy baby at first but as he grew and got older we could sense not everything was right. He would take alot longer to hit milestones. We persisted to contact the gp and hospital and was always told that boys are slow developers. They finally listened and done some tests and then in September 2019 when Charlie was 9 months old we got the call. I remember the day like it was yesterday, being called to the hospital and when we arrived we was taken into a room with a family liaison nurse and awaited the consultant to come in. We was sat down and broken the news that our happy little 9 month old son has muscular dystrophy. Charlie is now 6 years old and is such a happy funny normal little boy in our eyes 🧡 this charity plays a big part in our life’s but also many more families lives so here I am all signed and sealed to run the 2025 London marathon for Muscular Dystrophy UK. Please help Charlie and everyone else affected by this condition in helping raise as much money and spreading as much awareness as possible and supporting me on my journey of running the London marathon😆😆
