Hello all.
I dont know how much you guys know about Muscular dystrophy, but it fucking sucks.
My wife had her younger brother taken by this horrific disease in his early 20's, after years of pain and suffering.
There is no cure.
You are born with the disease and over the course of 20 years (max) your body deteriorates until it finally gives up. You are completely aware of this as this disease does not affect your mental capacity, a truly terrifying proposition.
I have attached a video at the end of this post showing just how hard it is - waring, its very upsetting.
I know you must get fed up of people coming to you for money, and begging for sponsorship for dragon boat races, or marathons or whatever, but I know you lot and youre a fucking awesome bunch.
My wife, who carries the disease, but being female means it doesnt affect her in the same way, is trekking the full length of Hadrians wall to raise money and awareness of MD and really needs our help - If you knew Louise, you'd know just how difficult it will be to take on such a huge challenge, and how much it would mean to her, us and her family.
MD isnt a cool disease, it doesnt get the media hype that boob cancer or aids gets, most people have never heard of it, but as I said - There is no cure, no hope for anyone born with it.
Please, if you can, just spare anything, a fiver, a score, even just 1 pound for this cause and it will go a long way, and mean so much to so many people.
Gift aid means anything you give gets an extra boost from the government.
If you cant afford even a pound, please at least spread the word, you all have hundreds of friends on facebook, share it there, tell them to share it and lets try and get to that target.
Thank you so much for those who have already donated, we simply cant thank you enough, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Here is the link, please, dont have that extra pint at the weekend, send a fiver to this fantastic cause and make yourself feel good.
