Simon Dadd new trustee

July 24, 2019 by Lynnette

We are delighted to announce that Simon Dadd has joined our Board of Trustees. Simon has considerable knowledge of Duchenne, being the father of two boys, Tom (13) and Ben (6), living with DMD. Simon is a senior civil servant and works in London.

I’m delighted to be joining the Board of Trustees. Action Duchenne was one of the first places our family turned to when our oldest son was diagnosed almost ten years ago and since then we have had another son who was also diagnosed with the condition when he was a baby. Duchenne changes the life of the whole family, and I’m committed to working to help the charity achieve its vision of a world where lives are no longer limited by Duchenne.

Simon Dadd

We welcome Simon and look forward to working with him on a number of initiatives.
