Campaign
Being Innocent... Living On A Death-Row Sentence
Carl Tilson
Popularity
This is the most popular campaign
My campaign is to raise awareness of the terrible illness that I suffer with called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). It's a muscle wasting illness that affects mainly boys; it's a terminal life threatening condition that has a life expectancy of 18 - 20 years old. At age 10, boys are wheelchair bound and every muscle in the body eventually gets affected, boys rarely survive past (18 - 20) years because they have problems with their heart and the heart is a big muscle so when the heart becomes too weak it results in heart failure. So I have dedicated my life to help a Charity called Action Duchenne. I work voluntarily with them to raise awareness and funding for a cure or a treatment to improve quality of life! Having the disease is like being an innocent person on a death row sentence, never knowing when time is up.

Carl you are an inspiration for all other sufferers of muscular dystrophy. You are positive and have so much courage such that you are a real role model for others. We are all behind you in finding a cure for the disease.

Dear Carl, I have a, thankfully, healthy 10 year old son and reading your intro made me realise how much I take for granted. Good luck with your campaign, I hope you make it al the way.
