My Dad is..

June 16, 2022 by Victoria Edwards

This Father’s Day we want to acknowledge all of the amazing dads in our Duchenne community.

We are celebrating the Duchenne dads in every and any form; foster dads, adoptive dads, grandfathers, uncles, carers, the memory of Dad’s no longer with us and those family friends who become second dads.

So, to all of you this Father’s Day, we want to thank you for all that you are. We see your power, your
courage, and your unwavering love.

You are doing an amazing job and we are in awe of you. 

Get involved

We want to know what your dad/ special person is to you!

So that we can celebrate together, on Father’s Day we will be sharing posts on social media, please tag the important person in your life and let us know what your dad / special person is to you by completing the sentence

‘My dad is…….” or ‘My dad was….’

Here are some ideas..

‘my dad is a great listener’
‘my dad is the best cuddler’
‘my dad is a crazy wing walker’
‘my dad is a marathon runner’
‘my dad was the kindest’
