Joining Jack was founded in 2012 by the parents of three-year-old Jack Johnson after he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a debilitating muscle-wasting disease for which there is currently no cure. The Wigan 10k is Joining Jack's flagship fundraising event which is celebrating its 9th year in 2021. Every penny raised at the Wigan 10k goes to Joining Jack to fund research, clinical trial positions and potential treatments for ALL boys living with Duchenne. Simply by signing up for the event and raising whatever you can can, you are helping to make a difference and change the future for boys living with Duchenne.
