The Duchenne Dash is Duchenne UK's annual signature VIP cycling event. Over the past 14 years, the Dash has grown into our biggest and most challenging fundraising event of the year and has raised more than £9 million for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research (DMD).

300km in 24 hours with a sort of break for a 5 hour ferry crossing.

This my fourth Dash since becoming a Trustee 8 years ago. A great cause and an organisation that genuinely makes your donations work towards an extraordinary outcome.

This is a tough challenge…..and I’m 67 now😬……help please!

Since the first Dash in 2013, Duchenne UK has brought light to a once dark and lonely landscape. Every achievement — from building a clinical trial network, to new drug approvals, to vastly improving care, and to developing pioneering tech to help disability – has been fuelled by the Dash.

The Duchenne Dash will take place on 8-9 May 2026.
