Alex Hunt, from Ainsdale in Merseyside, was diagnosed with Becker muscular dystrophy when he was 12 years old. Alex is a football fanatic who supports Liverpool FC and loves playing FIFA on his XBOX.

David, Alexs father, decided to get involved with supporting Muscular Dystrophy UK after he became aware of the charity through their website and their subsequent support for Alex the charity helped enormously with emotional support, as well as information about the condition, and what support is available, and that Alex is entitled to.

David has pledged his commitment to Muscular Dystrophy UK by setting up a Family Fund in support of Alex aptly named Alexs A-Team which will also be supported by many of Davids own family, friends and work colleagues.
