We would like to say a huge congratulations and thank you to this incredible group of people who took part in the @duchennedash this weekend!
More than 130 Dashers cycled 300km from London ➡️Paris in 24 hours and so far they’ve helped us raise an incredible £700,000!
In 14 years, the Dash has raised more than £9million. It’s the power behind Duchenne UK helping transform the landscape for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and their families.
And there’s still time to donate to help us reach £10million and further our mission to #endduchenne

Team Connor have done it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Over the last 24 hours, our incredible riders have completed the Duchenne Dash from London to Paris — a gruelling, relentless, brutal and emotional challenge that has tested every single one of them physically and mentally.🇬🇧🚴🏻🇫🇷
Through the heat, exhaustion, pain and sheer intensity of the ride, they kept going.
Some are broken.
Some are emotional.
Some are a little wobbly.
But every single one of them should feel immensely proud, because they have achieved something truly extraordinary.🥰🥰🥰
Not only have they completed one of the toughest endurance challenges imaginable, but together they have raised an absolutely incredible amount of money for Chasing Connor’s Cure and the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
A very special thank you must once again go to Barry and his team. Quite simply, this would not have been achievable without your support, commitment and belief in what we are doing. We are endlessly grateful.
Right now, we are still trying to process the scale of what has been achieved over the last 24 hours. More updates, photos and reflections will follow once we have all come back down to earth a little and found our feet again.
For now, thank you — from the bottom of our hearts — to every rider, supporter, sponsor, donor and person who has stood behind Team Connor.
You have all helped make something very special happen.
💙
