An Edinburgh mum was diagnosed with a muscle-wasting disease in her 20s, after tripping over stairs and struggling to walk.
The 35-year-old art enthusiast, who lives with Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, will now be at the heart of a fundraising event at the Scottish Portrait Gallery.
Alexandra Gardyne, will be the subject of work created by Scottish artist Damian Callan, that captures the way that Alexandra moves, in the hope that it will offer an “insight into the experience of living with muscular dystrophy” whilst also raising funds for charity.
