Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As we are not going to be able to go on our planned holiday this summer to Canada, myself, hubby and 3 teenage kids have set ourselves the huge challenge of completing the distance from Tyneside to Toronto, a total of 3,402 miles, by either walking, running or cycling the miles, all by the 25th July 2020!

We have chosen to raise funds from our crazy challenge for Action Duchenne. This charity is very close to all of our hearts as sadly, my nephew was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) when he was just 3 years old. DMD is a muscle wasting disease which affects all muscles in the body. Sadly, to date, there is no cure for this and the condition shortens life expectancy.

By helping to raise funds, more research can be done and hopefully in the future, a cure can be found so no other children and their families have to go through this.
