The Duchenne Dash is Duchenne UK's annual cycling event in which we will cycle approximately 200 miles from London to Paris... in 24 hours!

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

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive condition diagnosed in childhood. It causes all the muscles in the body to gradually weaken.

There is currently no cure for Duchenne, but there is hope.

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. This is really going to hurt. But it's for an amazing, important cause, so please give generously.

Thank you,

Dave
