Bertie's Buccaneers
Campaign by Muscular Dystrophy UK (RCN 205395 (England and Wales) - SC039445 (Scotland))
Bertie's Buccaneers was set up to fundraise for research into Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy which Bertie was diagnosed with in 2014.

Story

Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for 70,000 people living with muscle-wasting conditions. They are making a difference today, providing vital information and support to help people live as independently as possible. They are making a difference for tomorrow, accelerating progress in research and driving the campaign for access to emerging treatments.

I have decided to compete in aid of this charity due to seeing first hand what affect this can have on people's lives. My little boy Freddie has a very brave friend in his class at school called Bertie. He is 5 years old and suffers from a rare type of muscular dystrophy. I hope to help towards finding a cure by raising as much money as possible before I take part in this event. I appreciate any donation possible ! Wish us luck !
