Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. Please help me to help my nephew, Marcus, who's going to find life increasingly challenging in the coming years. 

Marcus is a positive, cheeky, 8 yr old who loves Minecraft and his PS4. In 2016 he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Sometimes life just isn't fair. 

On  SATURDAY 5th MAY I'm going to jump out of an aircraft at 11,000 feet and spend a few minutes hurtling towards a field in Oxfordshire. The only way that makes ANY SENSE AT ALL  is if you can help me raise as much money as possible to support MDUK in researching MD and in supporting Marcus, his parents Andy and Marie, and all those families affected by this  devastating condition. 

THANK YOU!

Uncle Simon X
