Action Duchenne is a charity run by parents of
boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a heartbreaking disease.
Children begin to see their muscles waste away and families
struggle to cope with the diagnosis and day to day management
of this condition. Young men can die as early as their late teens or
are left wheelchair bound and unable to move unaided. The
hope for families lies in new treatments that can slow or
stop DMD in its tracks.
Action Duchenne is
the only national Charity that exclusively funds research
for a cure and promotes campaigns for better medical care
for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy.
Our HR manager's son Archie was diagnosed at the age of
2 and a half (pictured above on the right with his friend
Zac who also has DMD). Archie is a wonderful 5 year old
who has a go at everything but is now realising he is different
and "his legs don't work properly". Here at the
Halfmoon we are dedicated to raising money for both Archie
directly and the fantastic charity Action Duchenne as the only hope for Archie is to find
a cure.
West End Musicians are a group of very talented musicians who have entertained at the Halfmoon before. If you are up for a night of great musical entertainment listening to the very best covers and you want to help us raise money for a very worthwhile cause at the same time, this is the gig for you.
We will not be asking for a set entrance fee and anything you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your support
Jo and Archie xx
