I've been inspired by the experiences of Bertie and his family and I hope you will be too. Bertie is a very cute and bright kid, but he lives with Ullrich's congenital muscular dystrophy. It is extremely rare and caused by a random mutation in his gene code. A small piece of funded research could make a huge difference to his life and the lives of others.

Bertie's Buccaneers was started on behalf of Bertie to raise
awareness and funds for research into a cure with MDUK. You can find out all about the Buccaneers at: www.bertiesbuccaneers.com
and www.facebook.com/bertiesbuccaneers

Bertie's Buccaneers is an official Muscular Dystrophy UK
family fund, so any fund you give will go directly towards research focused on Ullrich's
congenital muscular dystrophy.
