Hi everyone!
We are a group of Health Data Science PhD students who have decided to take on the challenge of running a 10k race together to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy.
Muscular Dystrophy is a devastating disease that gradually weakens the muscles, making it difficult for those who have it to walk, move or even breathe. It is a debilitating condition that impacts not only those who have it but also their families and friends. Finding a cure could help so many people, but they need our support!
Our PhD cohort does everything together (we would do a PhD in friendship if we could), so we are also taking on this 10K as a team. We’ll be training together, encouraging each other and crossing the finish line together. We hope that you'll help us in our efforts by making a donation to Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK). Every pound we raise will go directly towards MDUK’s research and treatment for those affected by Muscular Dystrophy.
Thank you for your generosity!
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.
