A big congratulations to Linda Smith for completing her 100 mile walking challenge this week! She set herself the challenge to raise money for Action Duchenne, in the place of people giving her birthday cards and presents.
Linda is a dedicated Duchenne Nana, a great lover of walking, nature and the outdoors. Despite this being a really tough time for her and her family she has clocked up her miles while bird-watching and to post her weekly parcels of home-made lock-down gifts to her 5 beloved grandchildren, 3 of which she has not seen since the beginning of Covid-19.
Mum has had a really difficult few months but has continued to support us along our Duchenne journey. We are exceptionally excited to see Nana next week for the first time in 18 months, so we can give her a big hug and say thank you in person for raising £290 for our amazing charity.
Lynnette, Marketing & Support Officer at Action Duchenne
Our life-changing work is only possible through raising funds. People like Linda are the reason why we can continue to do our important work supporting families from diagnosis through their whole Duchenne journey.
We are really grateful for each mile Linda has walked, and to each person who has supported her with donations and to those who have walked beside her.
