“It was great to take part in our first half marathon, the weather was great, the app was brilliant... it really helped to give the right atmosphere that we would have had if we had done it in London. It was great to see little Jessica’s face when we came into the finish line. I’m super proud of Team Jessie’s Angels raising £2,100 for MDUK. Every penny counts!” - Kelly Blacknell

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the virtual Royal Parks Half last Sunday. You made every step count in the race to beat muscle-wasting conditions and together have raised a fantastic £10,800 already! Thank you for choosing to run with #TeamOrange.

Feeling inspired? Why not make the most of our flash sale and sign up for the live event on 10 October >> https://bit.ly/3a1L3bB

"We decided to run a marathon and to raise funds. There is no better charity to support than MDUK. This belief drives our training on, through wind, rain or snow."

With the bar at their rugby club now open, Ed Wainwright, 27, said the promise of a couple of cold beers will push him and Ollie Choules, 24, to run 26.2 miles to fundraise for Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK).

Ed has two younger cousins, Max and Sam Goodwyn, who have Becker muscular dystrophy. Max had a heart transplant when he was 16, and, after graduating from university he launched a graphic design company. Sam, who recently had a defibrillator fitted, has completed college and is now set to study media.

Ed and Ollie have taken on the challenge after training through lockdown. Read more and support their challenge here >> https://bit.ly/3uRSt9f
