About David Slater

Profile picture

I have cerebral palsy which makes me like a wobbly jelly burning up energy like a gas guzzler, so I will be taking part in this event by pushing myself in my manual wheelchair, joined by my sister Rosie, who will be running alongside me.

I have been honoured to have known a number of good friends with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy since my college days, sadly losing most of them over the years due to the cruel and tragic condition that is muscular dystrophy.  They are flying free and partying hard in heaven right now, so this is my way of saluting my friends whilst raising awareness of muscular dystrophy and the need for continued funding and research.  My good friend Tyran is still fighting to this day and full of life, thanks to the continued research and subsequent support for those living with muscular dystrophy.

Fundraising Information

This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:

Muscular Dystrophy UK

"Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for the 70,000 people living with muscle-wasting conditions in the UK. We bring together people affected by more than 60 rare and very rare progressive muscle-weakening and wasting conditions. Muscle-wasting conditions are very rare, affecting just over one in every 1,000 people. As a result, some health professionals may never come across anyone with a muscle-wasting condition and may not know much about them. But we do. Since 1959, we’ve been supporting families living with muscle-wasting conditions. We provide vital information, advice, resources and support for people with these conditions, their families and the professionals who work with them."
