Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many years ago my cousin was diagnosed with Duchenne, and straight away my nan stepped up to the mark and started fundraising for Duchenne UK. At the time very little seemed to be known about Duchenne. My nan, in her 60s, went on to run the London marathon twice and did a sponsored walk of the Great Wall or China! Now I am not saying I will achieve that much, but I do want to follow in her footsteps, although without running!

So the challenge… A tough 1 day urban challenge that takes you right through the heart of London. With a challenging marathon distance of 42km to cover, this challenge is a fantastic test of your stamina and will leave you with an incredible sense of achievement.
Starting with Bushy Park and Richmond park, we cross the River Thames and head into Chelsea. Little known Brompton Cemetery is our next Royal Park before we reach Victoria Tower Gardens in the heart of Westminster. Following on through St James’s Park and Green Park we reach the iconic Buckingham Palace, before continuing to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. The route then turns north and goes through Regent’s Park before reaching Primrose Hill, our ninth Royal Park with excellent views of the London skyline. We follow Regent’s Canal east before crossing the River Thames to reach our final Royal Park - Greenwich Park. By the end of the challenge you will have visited each of the 10 ‘Royal Parks’.
· Visit all 10 Royal Parks in London in a single day!
· Trek along the banks of the River Thames
· Pass some of the finest architecture in London
· Perfect urban challenge
· Challenging marathon distance of 42km
