I haven’t been on a bike since moving to London from Colorado in 2022, so I’ll admit—I was a little apprehensive about signing up for the Duchenne Dash. But I’ve decided to take on the challenge as a way to reconnect with cycling and, more importantly, to support an incredible cause. This ride isn’t just about pushing myself physically—it’s about making a difference for children and families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. As daunting as 300km in 24 hours sounds, I’m diving in with determination, purpose, and a bit of nervous excitement. “You don’t have to be fearless. Just don’t let fear stop you.” — Charlie Day
