This 400km bicycle ride aims to raise awareness and much needed funding for the ongoing research into treatments and ultimately a cure for this terrible disease that affects thousands every year.

Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular, genetic disorder which results in the progressive deterioration of muscle strength and function. The most common form in childhood is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which can see a young boy using a manual wheelchair by the age of 8, and being completely dependent on an electric one by his early teens. Life expectancy for this disorder is usually only until early adulthood.

Please please find it in your heart to sponsor him.  Any amount will help, but he’s trying to raise $5000. DONATE HERE
