DRF Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge · 9 July 2017 ·

We fund research into potential treatments and cures for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a devastating genetic muscle-wasting disease that leads to paralysis, heart and lung failure and early death for all sufferers. We get involved to make a difference for all Duchenne sufferers. Help us find a cure.

Story

I'd love to run a marathon. But it's just not going to happen until at least June 2019. So in the meantime, I've decided to hike my little heart out for people I care about. Kerry and Doron have been working their guts out - sweat, blood and tears - to make the life of Gavriel and boys like him, better, longer and stronger. I don't rely on miracles but I believe in people who dedicate their lives to changing the future for their children and others. They make me feel that that future is now and I can do something about making it better. If Kerry asked me to trek across Alaska, I would do it. I believe in what she cares about and if I had one pinch of the energy, the stamina, the determination, the belief and the love she has for her children and DRF I would....even run a marathon if she asked me to.  

It is my honour to support her and DRF. If I've sponsored you before, I did so wholeheartedly and without a second thought. I just hit DONATE because I like to support my friends who raise money and believe in doing good. Now it's my turn. Please sponsor me and I will do my best. 

Thank you in advance and G-d bless you, Yael
