Story
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. There are over 2500 people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the UK alone, and currently there is still NO cure! It is one of the most severe muscular dystrophies, with muscle weakness appearing as young as 2 years old. I am lucky enough to know a wonderful family that deals with this every day. This is for them!!
As well as raising money towards the ultimate goal of a cure, I also want to raise the profile of this condition. Building a supportive community and inclusive society is just as important.
This will be my first ever marathon, and whilst I am already a runner I realise the enormous challenge it will bring, but if going through a relative small amount of pain will potentially help others then let's bring it on. I'll be updating the page every week during training....
If you can help support me by way of a donation then I will be ever grateful, however if you’re only here to find out more, that's fine too and I invite you to check out Action Duchenne's website: https://www.actionduchenne.org
Thank you
