My name is Brad I am a Canadian blogger/freelance journalist who is living with Becker's Muscular Dystrophy. I created the My Becker's Story blog in 2010 to share my story to help raise awareness about Muscular Dystrophy.
Here at the My Becker's Story blog I share my story, review cars, raise awareness about Becker's and the issues people with disabilities face. My Story represents the truth of my life and living with Muscular Dystrophy, my struggles and concerns when it comes to living with a disability. Over the years while growing up with Muscular Dystrophy I have been surprised to learn how many people don’t really know too much about it. At times that can be very frustrating, and still to this day there are people out there who still think I have MS, when I really have MD. So here I am to raise awareness about Muscular Dystrophy, and to help give people a better understanding of what it is like living with Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy.

So what is Becker Muscular Dystrophy?
Becker Muscular Dystrophy is a muscle disorder that affects every muscle in the body, over time the condition get’s progressively worse resulting from muscle wasting. The truth is there can be a lot of issues one can face when living with Becker’s, this can range from slips and falls, heart condition’s, mobility issues, problems climbing stairs, issue’s walking and standing up from a low position and for some even upper arm issues. Thankfully, though most people with Becker’s can look forward to enjoying a normal lifespan exceeding past their 50’s and 60’s. Though the use of a wheel chair or cane can become a reality as early as age 30.
