Asics 10K London Run 2009 · 12 July 2009 ·

The DFSG helps families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a muscle-wasting condition mainly affecting boys. The condition results in decreasing mobility and muscle strength with limited life expectancy (usually to mid-20s). We provide a helpline, support, and organise social events.

Story

Thanks for visiting Team Coffey's fundraising page.

The members of Team Coffey have 'volunteered' to run the asics British 10k London run in order to raise money for the Duchenne Family Support Group. These crazy/brave/suicidal/mad individuals need all the support they can get and you can support them by making a donation now!

The Duchenne Family Support Group is a national charity run by, and for families affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a progressive muscle wasting condition that is life limiting. Currently there is no cure for this devastating condition. Support is provided to the families in the form of subsidised holidays, days out and events, regular Newsletter and a 'network of contact families' providing  a conduit for general and specialist information about the condition.

All the money raised will be dedicated to my son Richard's memory, who sadly died in February 2007 from DMD.

So please sponsor the team now!

PS I did enter myself but had to pull out because of injury - honest! -my daughter is running in my place, please make it worth her while! - Chris Patterson
