“I just want to say that Victoria and the rest of the Action Duchenne family are incredible human beings. The support they give is amazing. When you run for them, you’re not just a number or a fundraising target, you genuinely feel like you’re making a difference. You see what your fundraising helps achieve, how it supports families, and how it helps the boys living with Duchenne” Leanne, 2026 London Marathon Runner
When you take on a fundraising challenge for Action Duchenne, we support you in the same way that we support our Duchenne community. You’ll experience the charity from the very heart, having contact with our Fundraising, Support and Science teams to keep you boosted along the way.
