As the leading Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) charity in the UK, we want to find effective treatments for DMD and end its devastating impact. We’re going further than anyone has before, and we’re doing it faster, because this generation of people living with DMD can’t wait.

Story

I am going to give it my all to try to raise £20k for Duchenne UK.

Currently 3 events have been raised:

1) A curry night

2) I buzz cut shaved all my hair off

3) Charity boxing match

For those who are unaware, Duchenne UK is an amazing charity that does a lot of work and raising awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a devastating muscle wasting disease and is the most common genetic killer of children worldwide. There is no treatment or cure. Children will be totally paralysed by their teens and won’t live beyond their 20s. But thanks to recent breakthroughs, we believe we can save them. For more information on DMD, visit: www.duchenneuk.

Duchenne is an amazing charity that does a lot of work and raising awareness for muscular dystrophy.

A friend of mine son had been diagnosed with this condition and it wasn’t until I started researching it made me realise there isn’t that much awareness so by even doing this if we can get people more aware of the condition as well as raise money that would be great. 

Duchenne UK is a highly focused, ambitious and lean charity with a clear vision: to fund and accelerate treatments and a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a devastating muscle wasting disease and is the most common genetic killer of children worldwide. There is no treatment or cure. Children will be totally paralysed by their teens and won’t live beyond their 20s. But thanks to recent breakthroughs, we believe we can save them. We aim to eradicate it in 10 years: TO END DUCHENNE IN TEN. www.duchenneuk.org
