On July 12th, I will be running the Race to the Stones trail ultra-marathon to raise money for Cure DHDDS. This is a 100km non-stop run along the ancient Rigeway (Britain’s oldest Trail) from Lewknor to Avesbury.

Cure DHDDS was set up by my good friends Charlie and Mel Dixon, who in 2022 discovered that two of their three children have an ultra-rare gene mutation, called DHDDS. There are only 70 known people in the world who have this condition. There is little to no funding and there have been very few, if any, studies into the condition. Mel has been at the forefront of bringing together scientists, researchers and other families to try and source as much information as possible, with the hope of giving all those affected by the mutation the best possible chance of finding a cure.

Your help and contributions go directly to funding this vital research and I would be very grateful for your support.
