Our nephew Dexter was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in 2017.  DMD is the most severe form of muscular dystrophy and it has no cure. Dexter’s parents, Rachel & Dane, found Duchenne UK, a charity committed to funding research into treatments for DMD and ending Duchenne for good. Filled with hope they started a Friends and Family Fund with them called Team Dex and so began their fundraising. It's been hard to raise money with Covid and lockdowns so we're all really excited to take part in Team Dex's Virtual 5km and 10km and try to raise as much money as possible for Duchenne UK and help Dexter. 

Team Dex supports Duchenne UK a charity that has one clear aim to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a devastating muscle-wasting disease. It is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy. Diagnosed in childhood, it mainly affects boys. Started by families affected by the disease, Duchenne UK is the leading DMD charity in the UK: connecting the best researchers with industry, the NHS and families to advance and accelerate every stage of drug development. Together, we will end Duchenne.
