Why not raise money by getting sponsored to do a run.  By running for Action Duchenne you can raise funds for vital research to find a cure for this terrible disease, and there are personal benefits, you'll get fit and do something you may have thought impossible.

Action Duchenne is taking part in a variety of runs in 2008, starting with our very own run - The Love Run, so if you want to run for us why not start the new year as you mean to go on, and run our 10k run around Battersea Park in London or run in Manchester or Cardiff. 

Action Duchenne has places in the Bupa London 10k run taking place on the May bank holiday weekend.  This is the first year of this race which will attract great attention, lots of runners and the potential to raise lots of funds. So if you want to secure your place on this new race hurry up as places are going fast.

 You could run for Action Duchenne, in the famous British 10K starting on 6th July from the Pall Mall.  This is a huge race and we have a limited number of places, if you want to join us in this prestigous race and raise some funds then secure your place with us today. 

For women only why not get a group of your friends together and run the Women's Hydro Challenge.  This takes place every year in September in London, Birmingham and Liverpool.  Its great fun and a great way to spend the day with your friends, and raise funds. So get on the phone call up your girlfriends, dust down those trainers and raise some money for Action Duchenne. 

Action Duchenne has secured places for the largest race in Europe, the Great North Run.  This is a massive event and receives wide media coverage.  Its a 13 mile run starting in Tyne & Wear, if you want to secure your place then dont hesitate and join us today and get running and fundraising.  If you miss out on the Great North Run, or you live in the south of England then why not join Action Duchenne on the Bupa Great South Run this run starts from Portsmouth and is an exhausting 13 mile run.  If you think you have the stamina then come and join us in October by registering today.
