Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our  JustGiving page.

OUR CRAZY VOLUNTEERS I'll start by introducing you to my willing  team of crazy volunteers who have agreed to jump out of a plane on Sunday 26th September 2021.  Each of us will  raise a minimum of £395.

Mark, Georgina, Ella, Janine, Matthew,  Melanie, Lilli & Kate - 

Thanks so much to you all - I can't express just how much this means to me.    If anyone else wants to join us (jump out of a plane) please get in touch ! 

So why are we  fundraising for this amazing charity?    

I would like to begin  by telling you about our dearest friend Holly Gouldingay.  

Holly's family and ours have been mates for years.  We first met her in sunny Turkey in 2004 when she was just 11 years old.  A beautiful little blonde lady with rapunzel hair flowing down her back who in the words of Mark swam like a fish.  She had so much charisma and hope for her future - we were floored by her genuineness and outlook on life.

At the tender age of 7 Holly was diagnosed with FSHD and was the youngest person in the UK to have a diagnosis;   by  the  age of 12 Holly was wheelchair reliant.  Now at the age of 28 she is also starting to lose some of the use of her hands which are keep in helping her transfer from her wheelchair.

Holly has refused to let her diagnosis dictate her life and lives as normal a life as possible working with children in her local community.  Her attitude is can do not what she can't.  She is such a kind hearted spirit always thinking of others before herself.

Who are MDUK ? MDUK fund research and support families of those living with this terrible diagnosis.  Thanks to research and funding their scientists are pioneering techniques to target treatments precisely.This has the potential to stop the disease in its tracks.  But research is expensive and they  need your help.

CARE  !!!   please donate .  People like our lovey Holly rely on MDUK's support,  MDUK rely on the generous donations of people like you !
