Convey my thanks to that unseen ‘Anna’

"Convey my thanks to that unseen  'Anna' "… are the words from Master Dinesh, a Muscular Dystrophy patient who has lost the ability to do things most people take for granted, like walking and sitting up.

Such is the condition of most patients of Muscular Dystrophy - a muscle weakening disease. It’s a genetic disorder and is mostly seen in male children who gradually lose the ability to move and become extremely dependent on others. The condition of these patients is heartrending, especially for those who hail from the poorer sections of society and don’t have access to guidance and treatment. Mental agony, depression, family’s despondence, and above all social exclusion from the community are some of the trauma patients with Muscular Dystrophy go through.

While there is NO CURE for Muscular Dystrophy yet, the process of failure of patients’ muscles can be delayed by timely treatment and care.

A donation by the unseen ‘Anna’ of Master Dinesh to Muscular Dystrophy Foundation India helped the NGO to buy a wheelchair for Dinesh; which has not only helped reduced his dependency on others but also has brought back a spirit to his life.

There is no better time to be a good ‘Anna’ (brother) or Akka (sister) than today. Because by providing a wheelchair or donating to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation India through GiveIndia TODAY, your donation will have a double impact.  As an anonymous donor,  passionate about the cause of Muscular Dystrohy (MD), will be matching every donation made to MDF till March 23rd, 2011.
