Hi My name is Steven I'm 24 years old and I am a keen BMXer ( not runner )
I am running this 10K to Honour my wonderful Mother who passed away on the 11/11/2022.
My Mum was the most loving, caring, gentle woman I have ever known, she had all the love to give in the world
I was Adopted by her and my father at the age of 4, became her young carer at age 10 onwards.
I am aiming to raise £200 to towards Muscular Dystrophy UK to help aid reasearch and to one day find a cure for this horrible Muscle wasting Disease
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."
Taking place on Sunday 14 May 2023, 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.
