Still so grateful to all of the runners that ran for Action for Ashley in the Great North Run, raising thousands of pounds for Duchenne research. Thank you for being his legs ❤️.

2017
A year ago I was looking at Ashley wearing a plastic toy medal given to him by Grumpy. Ashley loved his medal and wore it non stop.
I wondered how I could find an event to get him a real medal considering the mobility problems he has.
Fast forward a year and with the help of such amazing family & friends and friends of friends, there were lots of medals, even one for Ashley.
What a brilliant weekend we had at the Great North Run. Thank you so much to everyone that joined us, for being there, to those that came to support their friends and families. Team Ashley supporters raised THOUSANDS at this event which will be directed to fund more clinical trials in the North for those living with Duchenne.
Thank you everyone for the hours of training, taking the time to travel to Newcastle and being part of the World's favourite half marathon. YOU ARE LEGENDS 👏👏👏👏
