Fundraising for JOINING JACK
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am cycling the Manchester 100 miler on the 1st September 2013 to raise money for the Joining Jack Charity.
My fund raising target is £100.00 but the more I raise will go that bit further to help Jack.
Jack is 4 years old and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, DMD.
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition which affects the muscles, causing muscle weakness. It is a serious condition which starts in early childhood. The muscle weakness is mainly in the 'proximal' muscles, which are those near the trunk of the body, around the hips and the shoulders. This means that fine movements, such as those using the hands and fingers, are less affected than movements like walking.
There is no cure at the moment.
We want to find a cure.
We're raising money to fund research to find an effective set of treatments to combat this condition.
We want to make a difference to this generation of people living with DMD.
Thank you to everyone for supporting us.
So please dig deep and donate now.
