Raising funds for: Supernanny for #CousinsCrusade

I'm Sue, and three of my grandsons have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic disease that weakens their muscles and dramatically shortens their lives. There is no cure but new treatments are around the corner that will help them lead a better and longer life. To raise awareness and funds for my grandsons, I'm challenging myself to exercise and eat right for 79 days in a row, starting on 7/9 (World Duchenne Awareness Day). The number 79 is significant as humans have 79 exons in our DNA, and if one of those is altered or deleted, it will cause DMD. We need to raise money to travel overseas for treatment and to help my grandsons lead a better life. Please donate today! Sue, the Supernanny

FINALLY! It’s the last day of my 79-day challenge. At the beginning of the challenge I thought 79 days of a 40-minute work out would be easy, but I was wrong… very wrong. At the half way mark I started to feel pain in every muscle in my legs and arms, and needed song painkillers to get me through. I also was faced with having a minor operation and still had to complete every workout even when advised by a doctor to have a rest day, I could not as my three adorable grandsons don’t get a rest so why should I?! The challenge was about experiencing muscle fatigue and muscle weakness so I can understand what my grandsons experience every single day. As the challenge continued I needed physiotherapy, stronger painkillers and even need to wear a knee brace but I had to continue to the end. TODAY I made it 79 days straight, lost over 10 kilos and 70cms all over my body. Now I need YOUR help to fund this challenge and show my grandsons that they are not alone and we will win this fight for treatments and one a day a cure. These three boys stole our heart and we will not let DMD steal them.
