Duchenne UK run the ‘Duchenne Dash’ which is an annual bike ride from London to Paris to raise much needed funds for the fight against Duchenne. Much as I would love to take part I don’t have a bike (phew) however, they also run the ‘Dash at home’ which covers the same distance there and back – 600kms!! This is over a 6 week period prior to the actual dash, and this can be done through walking, running, swimming, cycling, all sorts! This we CAN do 😊 but maybe not alone. Please read on......

We need to cover 600km between now (starting on 05 April 24) through to the 17 May 24. Lucas, Sammy and I are going to pledge to do 50kms between us, during that time, made up of walking, biking and a bit of running from me. And we have wonderful family and friends who have pledged to help with the distance - thank you so much to all! I will post updates on this page to show our progress throughout this journey!

We are hoping to raise as much as we can for our family fund https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/lucasfightingduchenne?utm_source=copyLink&utm_medium=one_page&utm_content=campaign/lucasfightingduchenne&utm_campaign=pfp-share&utm_term=ee8b4d6c3adf41d4930f3f46866555f4 This page explains why we so desperately want to raise as much as we can 💙 Every pound we raise will be invested into vital Duchenne UK funded projects, programmes and research. Duchenne UK have one clear aim: to end Duchenne. They connect the best researchers with industry experts, the NHS, and families like ours.

If you are taking part in this ‘Dash at home’ with us, any donations you can get for your pledged kilometres would be very gratefully received to help towards our fundraising goal 😊 This page or the LucasFightingDuchenne page can be shared for anyone that wishes to donate.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. As ever, any support you can give to this amazing charity that is so close to our hearts, is hugely appreciated! No matter how small.
