On Friday 16th May, I'll be part of a team of 10 cyclists from the Reynolds Group, taking on the challenge of the Duchenne Dash, where we ride 300km from London to Paris in just 24hrs, with a quick nap on the floor of a ferry in the middle!

I've not done much cycling in recent years, so to ride a distance like this in such a short space of time is going to be a real challenge, and I'll be doing a lot of training to make sure I'm fully prepared for all that time on the saddle!

This is the second year that Reynolds Food Group will be raising money for Duchenne UK.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (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.

Please donate generously to support us, but most importantly to support this brilliant charity!
