David chose the charity as his grandson, Oscar, was diagnosed with the most severe form of SMA when he was born in June 2017 and sadly, despite the best care, he passed away after only six months.

SMA is a rare, genetically inherited neuromuscular condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and loss of movement due to muscle wasting. Visit https://smauk.org.uk for more information.
