Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder that weakens the muscles that help the body move. People with MD have incorrect or missing information in their genes, which prevents them from making the proteins they need for healthy muscles.

MD weakens muscles over time, so children, teens, and adults who have the disease can gradually lose the ability to do the things most people take for granted, like walking or sitting up. Someone with MD might start having muscle problems as a baby or the symptoms might start later.
Some people even develop MD as adults.

When I visited the Neuromuscular Centre recently I was amazed at two things; firstly at the fantastic work volunteers and staff do at the Centre, providing vital physiotherapy for sufferers as well as support and respite for carers.  The second thing I was amazed at was the fact that people who suffer from Muscular Dystrophy don’t get physiotherapy on the NHS after the age of 18!  This is the only Centre of its kind in the UK
and relies on donations and support from the public to keep going.
