LEADING jump jockey Andrew Lynch is promoting a cause dear to his heart, the Kieran Gore fund as he explained that Kieran “is the son of close family friends’’.

Kieran was diagnosed in 2012 with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. DMD is an inherited (genetic) condition which affects the muscles, causing muscle weakness.There is no cure for DMD at present but treatments can help. From the age of around 9-11 walking becomes more difficult and a wheelchair is required. Complications begin at this point whereby children will need specialist care and assistance.
