duchenne muscular dystrophy - harrison's story

This is the story of Harrison Smith, our son. We found out he had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in January 2011.
To most people Harrison looks completely healthy. But on the inside, our powerful little boy is struggling. His muscles are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Because he has Duchenne.
Having spoken to some of the best organisations in the world fighting Duchenne, it's clear that for the very first time there may actually be a chance of a major breakthrough. Over the past few years, scientists have made giant strides in gene therapy and molecular medicine, and pharmaceutical companies have begun investing in research that may well bring Duchenne therapies to market.
We need your help to take advantage of this momentum. And make sure that there doesn't need to be another Harrison's Fund.
