Pedal Paddle Peak 2022 · 2 July 2022 ·
I have grown up living next door to a family where all three children (now adults) have Muscular Dystrophy in varying degrees. The eldest is completely unaffected by the disease, the middle child has been in a wheelchair since his early 40s and suffers from associated daily difficulties. The youngest child of the family is one of my best friends and is possibly one of the most awesome people anyone could ever have the privilege to meet. Her energy and enthusiasm for life is contagious, she is an absolute scream and whilst she is often frustrated by the physical restrictions Muscular Dystrophy
places on her and the pain it causes, she refuses to let it define her.
It would be amazing to be able to show her my admiration and support and I know that it would mean a lot to both her and her family for whom life is not without its challenges.
