I have decided to take on the challenge of running 10k through the beautiful city of Oxford. I will be doing this to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK. Muscular Dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. This amazing charity funds research and provides support to those living with the disease.
I have met two people in my lifetime living with varying types of Muscular Dystrophy, and have witnessed the effect it can have on their (and their families) lives. If I can do just a little bit to provide support, then I shall �
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
"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."
On Sunday 8 May 2022, Oxford Town and Gown is the oldest run in the series. It started in 1982 by local runners as a fun run to raise funds for muscular dystrophy and still to this day all profits from the race go to Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK).
Our unique route is the only closed-road City Centre 10k in Oxford with a glorious stretch along the River Cherwell and finish in the University Parks. In 2019, the run was awarded Best 10k in South East England by the Running Awards.
