On the 30/03/2022 our world fell apart when we were told our son Jamie has been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

This was instant heartbreak for us after our research on the disease. Duchenne, known as DMD is a terminal illness which is found mainly in boys , it effects approximately 1 in 5000 live male births.

DMD is a muscle wasting disease which effects all muscles in the body including lungs heart and brain.

The information that we received is our boy will face a life of struggle, will be wheelchair bound between 8-10 years old and would deteriorate in front of our eyes , with the average life expectancy of mid 20s.

There is currently no cure for this disease, however we will never give up or stop fighting to save our sons life. We are so grateful to announce that we have recently received confirmation that Jamie can get a specialised treatment in South America every 3 months. This treatment will cost us around £80,000 annually but will help us slow this disease down hopefully giving Jamie better quality of life. Thank you for your continued support.

In October 2022, Bobbie, Jamie and Wee Jamie completed a gruelling trip to South America to start Wee Jamie’s vital treatment to help slow down the effects of DMD.

We cannot believe the support we received for our first big fundraising event. We just want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved in making this event a huge success. We managed to raise £5,680 towards Jamie’s first treatment.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us in our fight against DMD. We are blown away with the support from our local community. The total amount raised  on the night was £20,222.
