Since hanging up my running shoes 12 years ago and losing any fitness I once had, I have decided to come out of retirement and challenge myself to my longest run ever.

As you may be aware, I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on 7th April 2024 to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy charity Action Duchennes.

My 4 year old nephew Oscar has recently been diagnosed with this rare neuromuscular disease which affects boys from a young age. Any support would be gratefully received in order to raise awareness & funds to aid research into this life changing condition.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Action Duchenne has a very clear vision: a world where lives are no longer limited by Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

We have three core objectives:

- Funding research for everyone living with Duchenne

- Cutting-edge science education programmes

- World-class support for Duchenne families

While we hope that research and clinical trials will one day lead to a treatment, or cure, for Duchenne, we believe it is vital to support families living with the condition today. We support families from diagnosis through their whole journey.
