Thank you for choosing to support Action Duchenne in your fundraising at school. It really means a lot to us and to the entire Duchenne community.
Your school’s fundraising will help to increase awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and raise vital money to help us continue our mission to create a world where lives are no longer limited by Duchenne.
Help us raise awareness
World Duchenne Awareness Day
World Duchenne Awareness Day happens on the 7th September each year and is a great opportunity for schools to get involved and raise awareness. You can find out more about it and download free resources here.
Combine your awareness event with another special ocassion
Moorside Primary School in North Yorkshire had the amazing idea of combining their Holi celebrations with fundraising for Action Duchenne. Inspired by their pupil Edward, who lives with Duchenne, the school held a colour run to raise both money and awareness. Their moving story was even featured on the BBC.
