Story
On the 6th June, I will be attempting to ride from London to Paris in 24hrs, as part of The Duchenne Dash.
We're riding to help fund a treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - a terrible muscle wasting disease. DMD is the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect boys (it mainly affects boys). At the moment it is 100% fatal, with no cure; most children die in their early 20's from heart or respiratory failure and every child ends up in a wheelchair by the age of 12-14.
HOWEVER, research scientists believe they are on the edge of finding a substantial treatment and possible cure, to make these facts no longer true. Every penny of the money raised is being spent NOW on research. The Duchenne Children's Trust is funding 8 projects in the UK and another in Holland that show real promise.
The ride will be gruelling, and I'm assured very painful, so I really would appreciate your support. Follow our journey, enjoy our pain, but please donate to help us make it worthwhile. Thank you.
