Story

Emily and Anthony Garbutt have set up Abbie Can Family Fund for Abbie, who was diagnosed with FSHD in September 2018 at the age of 7.

Abbie has trouble using her facial muscles, lifting her arms above her head and has winged scapula. Abbie has a very positive attitude and wont let a diagnosis define her.

Abbie has always wanted to be a doctor for as long as she can remember and now she hopes to become a doctor in the FSHD field so she can tell other children that they don't need to worry about their diagnosis.

Abbie, supported by her family and friends, has already smashed her target to raise £10,000 into research for FSHD through her Family Fund with Muscular Dystrophy UK and shows no signs of stopping now.

Please support Abbie and help her make every hour of research count.

Net proceeds from Abbie Can will be split 80% for research into FSHD and 20% for Abbie's welfare
