Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am very excited to be able to raise money and awareness for The SMA Trust. It's always been a personal ambition of mine to run a marathon. To be able to support a charity that is close to my heart while at the same time participating in such an iconic event is very special.
Our good friends Patricia and Jonathan set up Team David to raise funds for The SMA Trust after their son, David, was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in 2011 shortly after he was born. David is now very good friends with our little boy, Reuben, and they are in the same class at school. David is a truly incredible little boy and his parents are an inspiration in their care for him and in their fundraising efforts for The SMA Trust
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a genetic neuromuscular disease. While it is considered a rare disease it is the leading genetic cause of death in infants and toddlers. It causes progressive muscle wasting leading to loss of mobility and motor function. Please learn more about SMA by following the link below.
I am very grateful for any support you are able to give.
Thank you so much,
David
