Thank you for joining us in 2022

Our battle against Duchenne muscular dystrophy is now 10 years old and we have been reflecting on that milestone throughout the year and some of our achievements over the past decade.

In 2011, when Jack was first diagnosed, we were broken by a diagnosis that had robbed our son of his future. By creating Joining Jack in 2012, we hoped to claw some of that future back.

In 2016, after many collaborations including investing in research, lobbying to parliament, and discussing parental care for our sons, we joined forces with another powerful parent-led charity, the Duchenne Children's Trust, to form Duchenne UK.

As Joining Jack and Duchenne UK, we have worked tirelessly to achieve so much more than we could have ever imagined. None of this could have been done without you — we are so grateful.

Since 2012, we have attempted to change the landscape for Jack and ALL boys living with Duchenne. We have created four flagship fundraising events, involving more than 30,000 runners, riders, walkers, climbers, wheelchair users, pram pushers, friends, families, schools, community groups and even a deep sea diver!

Together with our participants, supporters, volunteers, partners and sponsors, we have raised more than £2.5 million which we have invested in research, clinical posts and trials, care packages and every potential channel of hope to lead to better treatments for the Duchenne community.

Thank you so much for joining us and Happy New Year — here's to an even brighter 2023.
