Story
Eli, my godson and the son of great friends of mine, Nick and Emily Crossley, suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I am cycling from London to Paris to help raise money to find a cure. This is one of those areas of medical science where great strides are being made, so the aim of the Duchenne Children's Trust – to end Duchenne in 10 years – depends on money raised to fund research.
Duchenne is the biggest genetic killer of children, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a muscle wasting disease that leads to paralysis and death in all cases.

The Duchenne Dash is a gruelling 24-hour bike ride from London to Paris. I’ll be riding alongside (or possibly in the wake of) newsreaders and executives from Channel 4, ITN, ITV and Sky News plus a sprinkling of friends and other supporters.
