The Arshad family has set up Auzair's Fast Track Research Fund, to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy Campaign-funded research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Auzair, who is now 17, was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy when he was four years old. His mum and dad, Parveen and Mohammed, along with Auzair's older brothers Khurm and Usi, have set up the fund. Auzair has lost all but a little mobility in his hands and is now a full-time wheelchair user. His physical and medical needs require round-the-clock assistance; however this does not stop Auzair leading an independent and full life. He aspires to study at university, work in London or New York and travel the world."Auzair has an excellent quality of life because we, as a family, strive to give him the care that he requires. Aside from this, the only thing we can do is raise as much money as possible to fund groundbreaking research in the hope that one day they are able to develop a treatment to either stop or slow down the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We know that Auzair will only be able to fully realise and achieve his ambitions in life with the help of treatment."Khurm and his family have been fundraising for more than three years, and have raised an incredible £72,000 through a series of events. In March they held their fourth annual Authentic Indian Banquet, raising an incredible £14,000 in one evening.All of the funds raised by the family will directly fund Dr Wood and PhD student Corinne Betts at the University of Oxford. This particular research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy is investigating ways to improve upon the current exon-skipping technology.Currently there is NO cure or treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
