Nutrition Guide

A balanced diet is essential for good health and getting the right nutrients and fluid will support your Dash journey. This is why we have created this comprehensive nutrition guide, giving you tips on what to consume pre-, during and post-ride. This guide will provide you with all the info you need on how to fuel your ride for optimum results, so please make sure to download it and give it a good read. 

Fundraising

The Dash is not only an epic physical challenge, but a fundraising one. We thank you for committing to raise £4,200. Money raised by the Dash allows us to continue our fight to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by funding research into new treatments and drug trials, ground-breaking technology, and projects like DMD Care UK which ensures everyone with DMD gets the best standard of care, no matter where they live.

The total can seem daunting but we’re here to help. We’ve created a fundraising pack that is your one-stop-shop for all things Dash fundraising. It’s packed with important information and helpful tips and ideas to boost donations. Make sure to download it and give it a good read.

If you are fundraising overseas, we recommend that you open a JustGiving page. If you have any queries about fundraising overseas, please contact the team on [email protected].

Promoting your Dash

To meet your fundraising goal, it’s important to let people know what you’re doing and why! Share your Dash story with family, friends, your professional network and local community. Get the story out there and ask people to donate to your Dash.

We’ve created a communications pack to help you promote your Dash with template posts for social media and information about press opportunities. There is also a suite of graphics for you to use on social media. When posting, make sure you tag us @duchennedash and use #DuchenneDash2025 #EndDuchenne so that we can like and share!

You can also share photos from the Duchenne Dash 2024 and the Dash 2024 look-back video.
