Hi guys,
This year me and a few friends/family members will be doing the Tough Mudder event in Gloucestershire on 23th August. Tough Mudder is a team-oriented 10-12 mile (18-20 km) obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental grit.
For this reason I am raising money for a charity which is very close to mine and my families heart. The money raised will provide help to those who face challenges in everyday life. All donations will go to the Neuromuscular Centre Midlands.
ABOUT THE CHARITY
NMC Midlands is a charity set up to offer support to people with muscular dystrophy and other muscle wasting diseases in the Midlands region. 70,000 people suffer from muscle wasting disease over the UK and around 12,000 of these are in the Midlands region alone.
Sufferers of these diseases experience a significant reduction in the amount of physiotherapy they receive from the NHS after turning the age of 19. The correct physiotherapy is essential to people with muscle wasting diseases as it maintains mobility and reduces the rate of muscle deterioration. One of the main services NMC Midlands offers is free and continuous specialist physiotherapy for sufferers of these diseases. In addition we have services available to offer support for other areas of life that become challenging to people with muscle wasting diseases.
