Now in our third year of the ride I am older, heavier and more injured than ever. It will hurt. [/p] [lt]p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #626566; font-family: 'Calluna Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"[gt]The Duchenne Children’s Trust ([url=http://www.dc-trust.org/]www.dc-trust.org[/url]) was set up two years ago by Emily and Nick Crossley, after their son was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which is the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect boys. [b][i]At the moment DMD is 100% fatal with no cure; most children die in their early 20s from heart or respiratory failure and every child ends up in a wheelchair by the age of 12-14. [/i][/b]They cannot produce dystrophin, a protein necessary for muscle survival and, as a result, every skeletal muscle in the body deteriorates.[/p] [lt]p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #626566; font-family: 'Calluna Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"[gt][i]However[/i] scientists believe they are on the edge of finding a substantial treatment and possible cure for the disease.[/p] [lt]p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #626566; font-family: 'Calluna Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"[gt]The Duchenne Children’s Trust is currently funding several research projects   – all of which show real promise.
