Lisa has kindly requested that family and friends donate money should they wish to, to Action Duchenne who are doing some amazing work to research medicines to help find a cure for boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
This will in turn help Alex (aged 4) who is a close friend to Lisa. Thank you all for your help and support.

Duchenne is a devastating condition which leaves boys in a wheelchair from age 9-11 years (typically) and will be completely paralyzed by mid-late teens. Boys with Duchenne currently are not expected to live much beyond their early 20's. The hope for families lies in new treatments that can slow or stop DMD in its tracks.

Action Duchenne is the only national Charity that exclusively funds research for a cure and promotes campaigns for better medical care for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

Alex is the one on Lisa's lap taken on New Year's Day at Sennan Cove.

Thank you so much to everyone who donates money.
