I’m cycling in the Duchenne Dash, a gruelling 200 mile, 24 hour bike ride from London to Paris. Media rivals and friends take on this daunting challenge in aid of the Duchenne Children's Trust. We’re riding to raise funds to enable dedicated scientists to continue research with one goal- a treatment to cure Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy within 10 years. This rare muscle wasting disease leads to certain paralysis and death in teenage boys. It is the most common genetic killer of children. Newsreaders and executives from Channel 4, ITN, ITV and Sky News have set aside their rivalries. Google will ride with Twitter, comedians will ride with TV bosses and spin doctors with journalists. We need your support. Follow our journey, enjoy our pain, but above all please donate and make a difference.
