Story

Jaspers Jaguars (Chris, Claire, Laura and myself) are taking part in Pedal, Paddle, Peak, in Penrith on Saturday 6th July in honour of Jasper and in support of Muscular Dystrophy UK. As a Team of four this triple challenge will see us all complete a 30 mile cycle, paddle 2 miles in a canoe then climb the 3rd highest peak in England - the magnificent Helvellyn.

As many of you will be aware our amazingly, extrodinary beautiful little boy Jasper was diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy in 2017. Currently there is no cure or treatment - that's why we are asking for your help! Any donation large or small would be greatly appreciated for much needed research and support for this amazing charity which as a family is close to our heart.

From current findings it is predicted that there are currently 2,400 in the UK living with Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

Muscular Dystrophy UK fund world class research that we hope will lead to treatments coming forward that could benefit Jasper and others affected by these conditions.

Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for the 110,000 children and adults living with muscle-wasting conditions in the UK. There's currently no cure, and it many cases, it limits lives. MDUK fund world-class research into treatments and cures as well as providing vital information, advice, resources and support for individuals and families living with these conditions. 

I think we are all either stupid or crazy or possibly a mix of both!  This is definitely the most challenging thing we have attempted

Thank you for taking the time to read our story!
