Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe muscle wasting condition. People living with Duchenne typically need to use a powered wheelchair from their early teens. There is no cure.

Ever since Dougie was diagnosed with Duchenne, at the age of 6, our family and dear friends have been doing all we can to fundraise for this wonderful charity who have always been here for us and helping us to keep smiling and remain positive in adversity. To make things easier going forward we have set up this page to take donations for all we have planned in the future.

Dougie is a wonderful young boy. He is now 11 years old, loves cars and driving anything that he can get his hands on, swimming, riding his bike, gaming and many other things. His determination to live a normal life is unbelievable, and he is known and loved by so many. Once you meet him you do not forget him.

Action Duchenne are an amazing and groundbreaking UK charity which spends 93.8p in every £1 they raise on ground-breaking Duchenne research, world-class support for Duchenne families, and cutting edge science education.

Please donate to help Action Duchenne continue their vital work and make a difference to the children, teenagers and adults living with the condition and their parents, carers, grandparents, siblings, cousins and friends.

Thank you for your support.
