Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am running the Edinburgh Marathon to raise money for a great charity that is close to my heart. Our dear friends son, Luke who was diagnosed as a toddler.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a degenerative condition which means that Luke's physical abilities become gradually limited. Since Luke's diagnosis at the age of 3 he has had to go through a number of challenges from having to use a wheelchair to not be able to feed himself all whilst trying to get through his teenage years. Despite all of this Luke has achieved a silver DofE award gained 3 a levels and is currently studying a degree in sport and business management at the university of Kent. His dream is to be able to do all of those things that everyone else can do without having to ask his parents.
Time is running out and finding a cure for this disease will only be possible through scientific research. For young people with the condition like Luke raising money to help fund this research is everything.
