We fund private mental health support to help those facing a Duchenne diagnosis

Story

Local brothers Theo (7) and Oskar (5) were diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in 2014. One year later, the first Blue Hair Day event took place to raise money to find a cure and show community support for this lovely family whose life had changed for ever. Since then Blue Hair Day has become an annual event organised by parents with children of the same age  who have seen the boys grow from active little boys to becoming increasingly wheelchair bound. DMD is a muscle-wasting disease for which there is currently no cure and is 100% fatal.

Please support us by donating via this page. We would also love to see as many people as possible at the top of Box Hill ready to help our little warriors down the steep slope, over the stepping stones, and back up the stairs to the top - a tough walk for those that are fully fit. We're meeting at the Viewpoint at 9.45am on Sunday 30th June ready for a 10am departure. Once back at the top we'll be relaxing with rugs and a picnic so do bring your own and get to know us and your local community.

We're here to bridge the gap between needing Mental Health support due to a devastating Duchenne diagnosis and accessing the NHS services families facing Duchenne need. Therapy empowers families to navigate the complexities of DMD with a greater sense of understanding and emotional well-being.
