The image is a cartoon of two people sitting on a bus, each with a flag over their head representing a country. The person on the right, with a U.S. flag, is smiling and looking happy, with the caption "I've lost 100 pounds." The person on the left, with a British flag, looks sad and is slumped in their seat with the same caption "I've lost 100 pounds." The background through the bus windows contrasts a bright, sunny countryside on the right and a dark rocky landscape on the left. The cartoon humorously contrasts the meaning of "pounds" in the U.S. (weight) and the U.K. (currency).

The Highly Specialised Service for rare neuromuscular disorders in Newcastle is organising an info day for people living with #LGMD, in person or remotely.

This will be a mixture of talks from experts in research, clinical care, and interactive workshops.
