In May, I'll be running the Manchester 10K for the SMA Trust. But I need your help to fundraise money for this amazing charity, that finds treatments and is looking for a cure for this genetic neuromuscular condition.
Sponsor me to run the 10K so that I can reach my fundraising goal of £150!
For those who are unaware of what Spinal Muscular Atrophy is, here's a brief summary:
SMA is a genetic neuromuscular disease, affecting nerves responsible for muscle function. Although classified as rare, SMA is the leading genetic cause of death of infants and toddlers. Children with a less severe form of SMA face the prospect of progressive muscle wasting, loss of mobility and motor function. 1 in every 6,000 to 10,000 births is affected by SMA. The SMA trust is the only UK charity solely dedicated to funding medical research into Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
