DeanWidd has no upcoming events.
I became Regional Advocate for Scotland in December 2008, which has led to me now being Regional Development Officer for Scotland, Ireland and the North East of England. Prior to coming into this role I supported Action Duchenne (then PPUK) when my son, Arryn, was diagnosed with Duchenne.
I strongly believe that we can make a change happen for our children and stop this terrible disease. I have seen overwhelming support from parents, friends and volunteers helping us all to get closer to finding a viable treatment and possible cure for Duchenne and Becker. It's time to stop wasting!
Like music a great deal, joys of an ex musician in the forces! Enjoy a bit of console playing from time to time, cinema, good food, and travel. One day I may get to Bora Bora who knows!! But my main interest is ensuring I help in anyway possible to find a treatment or cure for Duchenne and Becker.
Like swing music and rock and most pop. Fav swing artist Michael Buble with fav rock Bon Jovi. Like this Adele singer as well!
Matrix, Inside I'm Dancing, Mr & Mrs Smith, Cinderalla Man, A Few Good Men, Avatar, Limitless...far too many to mention actually! If it has a great story or plenty or action then I am easily pleased!
