Fight For Teddy

Teddy (age 3 months) was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in April age 2 months, it shattered our world and has turned our lives upside down. DMD is a life-limiting condition which will cause his muscles to degenerate and stop functioning over time due to a lack of dystrophin that muscles need to strengthen and function. There is currently no cure for this condition, however, Teddy is our shining light amid the darkness. He is a happy and cheeky little boy who will have to face the unimaginable in the coming years.

We want to provide him the same light he has provided us!

Our focus is now on the future to raise money for; potential treatment options (most likely outside of the UK) and vital funds for future projects which will allow us to generate more funds for Teddy, and donations to Duchenne charities and research which will hopefully lead to a cure for Teddy and boys like him.

Unfortunately, the NHS do not have the same array of treatments options as places like the US. The options and clinical trials are currently around £40,000 to £50,000 per year.

Teddy has had an early diagnosis which gives us a chance to start our fundraising efforts earlier than most.

Please share, donate and tell anyone you know. We would be grateful for any support received, turning up to cheer Teddy on or us would be amazing, fundraising events led by our friends would also be fantastic.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
