Ian Wikeley lost his brother Jonathan to Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 2015 aged just twenty five years old.
Knowing how difficult the condition made Jonathans life, Ian is determined to help others with muscle-wasting conditions by funding research to help find treatments.
Ian had planned to do a variety of events throughout 2020 but, due to Covid-19 many of these have been postponed to later dates. As a result he will now be taking part a revised list of events (see above) and hopes that friends will be able to join him on his mission to raise funds and awareness to mark what would have been his brothers 30th birthday year. Ian is particularly keen to see as many people as possible taking part in the Wheatsheaf Inn 100 mile bike ride around the Wirral peninsula.
Muscular Dystrophy UK focuses on muscular dystrophy and related conditions. They seek to cure or find treatments for muscle-wasting conditions and to improve the lives of those affected and their families. The money raised is used to fund research, find the causes of and cures for muscular dystrophy. The charity now provides support for more than 60 different muscle-wasting conditions, as well as funding many key research developments
