Story

Team Jed is a collective of individuals who are in the constant pursuit of a treatment or cure for Muscular Dystrophy. All money that is raised for our Team's fund is dedicated solely to research into muscle-wasting conditions so that future generations can live a life without physical limitations.

At the age of 8 years old, I was diagnosed with Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. The prognosis? My parents were told I'd be in a wheelchair within the next few years, I'd be on a ventilator by 14 and I'd be lucky to make it past 20. From this point forward, Team Jed was born, with friends, family and groups of people coming together from all walks of life to raise over £250,000 throughout the years.

As of 2023, I want to take Team Jed to the next level and continue to support the fight against muscle-wasting conditions. Team Jed will be working with many individuals who want to raise money for the cause and fund research into treatments and cures - stay posted through our website and social media platforms for announcements on upcoming events!

For those who don't know myself or the charity that Team Jed was set up to help, Muscular Dystrophy UK supports the 111,000 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.
