I realize I need to put in a whole lot more of an effort than what I have been doing, because the amount I have raised just isn't going to reach my goal amount, not at this rate. So I'm going to set up a Sausage Sizzle at Willeton Bunnings in June, and probably set up a Trivia Night or a Dinner. Trouble is, I don't know anyone to invite besides my work colleagues (who are just so sweet and wonderful) and my few friends. Hahaha it shows I really need to make an effort to socialize more and keep connections.
Also, I will need to set up a Thank You Page on this blog for donors and the people who have supported me so far on this fundraising for MD! They have been such amazing help and really generous with their donations I feel they need some recognition.
Another type of Muscular Dystrophy:
Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. Congenital means present at birth. Congenital muscular dystrophies progress slowly and affect both males and females. The two forms that have been identified -- Fukuyama and congenital muscular dystrophy with myosin deficiency - they cause muscle weakness at birth or in the first few months of life, along with severe and early contractures (shortening or shrinking of muscles that causes joint problems). Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy causes abnormalities in the brain and often seizures.
