I'm cycling from London to Paris in 24 hours to help to save the lives of boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect boys. At the moment DMD is 100% fatal with no cure with most children dying in their early 20s and every child ending up in wheelchair around 12 years old.
However scientists believe they are close to finding a substantial treatment and possible cure and as a result every penny raised in being spent now on research. The Duchenne Children's Trust is funding 8 projects all of which show real promise. I'm doing this event to raise funds to speed up the research and trials to try to develop a drug that will end DMD now.
