It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 years since I first got to know Connor, his Mum and Dad - Matt and Emma, and the rest of their wonderful family. Over that time I’ve seen first-hand just how important fundraising is to keep incredible charities like Chasing Connor’s Cure moving forward in their mission to #endduchenne.

So, I’ve decided once again to dust off the cobwebs, squeeze back into my lycra, and take on the Duchenne Dash 2026 — cycling 300km from London to Paris in just 24 hours. This time I’ll be putting together a team to take on the challenge with me, and this page will be our group fundraising hub.

What I’ve learned over these past 5 years is that while fundraising is hugely rewarding, it also takes real perseverance. Everyone involved with Chasing Connor’s Cure shows such incredible dedication and passion — their drive to keep pushing forward, no matter the challenges, is inspiring. It makes me even more determined to do my bit and help raise the funds needed to support their vital work.

I’m very lucky to have so many incredible contacts across the construction industry and I hope, with your help, we can raise a fantastic amount once again to support Chasing Connor’s Cure in their fight to end Duchenne.
