I’m taking on the Pedal Paddle Peak challenge this September, covering 60km of the Jurassic Coast in a single day to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

This involves a 40km cycle through the rugged Dorset countryside, past historic landmarks like Corfe Castle. This is followed by a 3km kayak across Studland Bay before finshing the final leg, a demanding 17km trek along the Purbeck ridge.

This is a cause close to home for me, as my little brother lives with the condition. I’ve seen firsthand the daily hurdles he faces, so I wanted to do something to support the work MDUK does for the 110,000 people across the UK navigating muscle-wasting conditions.

If you’re able to donate, it goes directly toward life-changing research and support. Every bit helps!
