Following a detailed interview process I was thrilled to receive an email from Alex’s Wish appointing me as a Trustee. I have been keenly watching this wonderful charity from the side-lines for the last few years and have seen them go from strength to strength with Emma at the helm. It was amazing to hear, first-hand, at the Annual Supporters Thank You Lunch about the incredible work Alex’s Wish continues to do locally to support Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy – which is a ticking time bomb for any child or family of a child living with this horrible disease.
I’m excited to be no longer watching from the side-lines. Instead I am now fully involved and I hope I can add value to Alex’s Wish with my experience of events and of also working as a Corporate Fundraiser for LOROS Hospice for five years back in 2015. I am keen to play an active part in helping Alex’s Wish raise more money so that they can invest it into finding a cure for Duchenne in the not so distant future.
