A FASHION show was held at M&Co, in Barnard Castle, this week to help fund scientists looking for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) – a rare and limiting muscle wasting disease. The event was organised by Teesdale Lions and inspired by little Ryan Chidzey, of Gainford, who was diagnosed with the illness last year.
