Every year, our incredible runners that make up #TeamMDUK come together to take on the Great North Run in support of the 110,000 children and adults living with a muscle-wasting condition in the UK.

We cannot wait to cheer the team on as they take on the world biggest half marathon on Sunday 8 September 2024, on what will be a truly memorable day!
