FHA Wales staff present Three Peaks cheque to Action Duchenne

13 June 2017 by abzali123

Thirteen members of staff from FHA completed the challenge in around eighteen hours, six hours ahead of the twenty-four hour deadline. They raised a grand total of £1,760.90 through sponsorship.

Family Housing Association supporting their staff and Action Duchenne

A cause close to the hearts of many of the staff at FHA, Action Duchenne is a charity aiming to eradicate Duchenne muscular dystrophy, something that FHA employee, Lisa Davies’ son Cameron, has been battling for sixteen years.

Karen Dusgate, Chief Executive of FHA Wales, said: “We are immensely proud of all the team that took part in the challenge. The nature of the task they undertook and the manner in which they completed it really is a true reflection of the values and work ethic of FHA Wales on the whole.”

Lynnette Ellison, Duchenne Parent, Marketing and Fundraising Officer at Action Duchenne, said: “It’s great to see that not only are FHA supporting Lisa and her family they are also supporting Action Duchenne by helping to fund research, finding suitable treatments and hopefully one day finding a cure for the condition.”

For more information on FHA Wales visit www.fha-wales.com

Thank you to the entire FHA team and their supporters for undertaking this challenge for Action Duchenne.

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 …

Louise’s London Marathon Story

Louise’s London Marathon Story Written by Louise Ruddick “My relationship with Action Duchenne came about very spontaneously at the beginning of January this year. My brother, George, was diagnosed with Duchenne back in 1992, just before his third birthday. He was obviously too young to be aware however the impact that it had on our …
