Matt Hutton
Help Matt raise awareness and funds for Muscular Dystrophy NSW!
Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!
I recently went under the knife for hip surgery and spent 2 weeks plodding way around (hilly) Sydney on crutches. As I’m sure many have experienced, everyday tasks on crutches quickly become difficult, tedious and frustrating. It is safe to say this has given me a whole new appreciation and compassion for those who live with permanent disability, such as that imposed by Muscular Dystrophy, and has really put my temporary and comparatively trivial impairment into perspective. So…
On November 16, I will be taking on a gruelling 150km ride from Bondi to Katoomba (Blue Mountains) alongside Australian cycling legend, Brad McGee, to help raise funds and awareness for young Australians living with Muscular Dystrophy - a devastating neuromuscular disorder which results in the progressive deterioration of muscle strength and function.
It would be greatly appreciated by myself and MDNSW if you would please show your support for this fantastic event by making a small (or BIG) donation. Your generous donations will go towards MDNSW's 'Kids For Life' program, which provides critical support and assistance to improve the quality of life for young Australians living with Muscular Dystrophy.
The most common form of MD is Duchenne MD, which primarily affects boys. Onset of this condition is between 3 and 5 years of age and the disorder progresses rapidly, with most boys completely dependent on an electric wheelchair by their early teens. Tragically, life expectancy for this disorder is usually only until late teens or early twenties. Being someone who has gained so much from sport, a key motivator in my support of the Big Red Ride and Kids For Life program is that it provides these youngsters with the opportunity to participate in modified sporting and recreational events, and enjoy all that goes with it.
Simply click 'Donate Now' to make a secure online donation and help me achieve my fundraising goal!
Thanks for your support and stay tuned for updates!
