Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular dystrophies are a group of rare conditions that gradually cause muscles to weaken and waste. Sometimes you may see or hear them being talked about as neuromuscular conditions, or as a muscle wasting and weakening condition. They are usually inherited and are caused by changes (mutations) in the genes which are responsible for the structure and function of our muscles.  Muscular dystrophies are progressive conditions. This means they will worsen over time. Currently, there is no cure for muscular dystrophy.

Asthma

Is a long-term lung condition. It affects the airways that carry air in and out of your lungs. causing them to become swollen. This makes the airways narrower so less air gets into and out of the lungs. People with asthma can get symptoms like wheezing, breathlessness, a cough or a tight chest. Sometimes symptoms can get worse quickly. This is an asthma attack. Symptoms can be triggered by things like exercise, allergens or changes in weather. There are lots of potential triggers and everyone with asthma will have their own set of triggers.
