TCS London Marathon 2025 #TeamMDUK
Campaign by Muscular Dystrophy UK (RCN 205395 (England and Wales) - SC039445 (Scotland))
Our fantastic #TeamMDUK runners are taking on the London Marathon 2025 to make every step count in the race to beat muscle-wasting conditions.

Story

I'm running for my brother, Robin, who has

Myotonic Dystrophy

My Phonebox weighs 15Kg (3 stone) and is made of wood and cardboard. I have a love/hate relationship with my outfit and i have learnt how to run like a penguin inside my box without the use of my arms. Training is quite challenging and definitely confuses many humans and animals running around my local town. I am hoping to get round in under 7 hours before the traffic re-starts.

Muscles.

We use them to move.

Walk, eat, smile, cry.

Pump blood around our bodies.

To breathe in and out.

Our muscles matter.

By fundraising for Muscular Dystrophy UK, I’m helping to fund world-class research into effective treatments, and life changing support for Robin and the other 110,000 people in the UK living with a muscle-wasting condition.

All donations and your support are so greatly appreciated. Thank you!
