Story

The nephew of one of my best friends has just been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  It's incredibly rare - I had to google it (and yes I am supposed to be a doctor) so only about 100 people are diagnosed with it each year in the UK.  It's a genetic condition that stops signals from the brain reaching the muscles properly which results in weakness and wasting of the muscles. 

George is just over a year old and while he can sit up and use his arms it's not looking likely that he will be able to walk.  There is only one charity that is providing support for families affected by this condition and I'm sure the Jennifer Trust will be extremely grateful for your support.  You can check out their website to see where the money will go -  www.jtsma.org.uk 

Thankyou in advance for your support
