Campaign by Muscular Dystrophy UK (RCN 205395 (England & Wales), SC039445 (Scotland))
Every year, our incredible #TeamMDUK runners take on the Great North Run in support of the 110,000 children and adults in the UK living with a muscle-wasting condition. We cannot wait to turn the Tyne orange once again in 2026!

Story

I am a biochemist with over 10 years’ experience researching muscular dystrophies. Through my work, I have focused on understanding the biological mechanisms that underpin muscle disease and exploring how this knowledge can be translated into meaningful treatments.

Muscular Dystrophy UK plays a vital role in making this research possible — supporting scientists like me while also providing life-changing care and guidance to individuals and families affected by these conditions. With no cure currently available, continued investment in research is essential to slow disease progression, improve quality of life, and ultimately find lasting solutions.

Join us, and help change the future of muscle-wasting conditions.
