Thank you all for your support through the new journey the pandemic set for us. Your continued contributions, involvement in Action Duchenne's projects and virtual fundraising activities has been truly invaluable.

We understand that these times can be, and often are, extremely challenging. Particularly for the many Duchenne families who have experienced muscle function decline during this period of inactivity. You are not alone in any feelings of worry, anger, or stress; we are here for you and understand fully what you are experiencing.

We also want to help, by offering you motivation to get up, out and in the sunshine. We want to help you to encourage each-other, your children, young people and adults, to express themselves through different events and activities.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing ideas for you to fundraise safely in your local area, giving you something to focus on as you come out of lock-down. We are sending out free fundraising starter packs to help you get your activity underway - order yours here.

You could set up a cake sale outside your house (with an honesty box which well provide), or perhaps a dress down day at school, or even start to roll/walk to school, enjoy the sunshine and get some fresh air.

Whatever you decide to do, just start small, take it steady and use the fundraising as a way to get you back out into the world again.

Please sign up as a fundraiser and subscribe to our fortnightly newsletter to keep updated with events and news.
