Edinburgh Marathon ‘Running for a cure’

27 May 2021 by Victoria Edwards

On Sunday 30th May Ian is running the Edinburgh Marathon for Action Duchenne.

Ian has been inspired to run 26.2 miles after seeing the challenges and triumphs his friends son, who lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has encountered over the years.

Luke’s dream is to be able to do all of those things that everyone else can do. Time is running out and finding a cure for this disease will only be possible through scientific research. For young people with the condition like Luke raising money to help fund this research is everything. Ian Grieve

You can sponsor Ian here and help to fund our vital research into better treatments and one day a cure for Duchenne.

We wish Ian the best of luck on Sunday!

Turning Challenges into Change – Our Story with Action Duchenne

I was introduced to Action Duchenne by the Muscle Team in Newcastle shortly after Oliver’s diagnosis in 2017. In those early, overwhelming days, their support meant everything. Members of the Support Team would call just to let me talk, vent, cry — whatever I needed. They were simply there, and that’s why I choose to support them every …
