HUNDREDS of people (pictured) joined an early morning walk around the Cooks River in Earlwood last Sunday to raise awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The NSW Community Walk 4 Duchenne was followed by Sonday Funday with more than 1,000 people enjoying food, fun and activities to also raise funds to be used for trials to ultimately find a cure as well as providing essential equipment and services.
Campsie local and founder of Save Our Sons Duchenne Foundation, Elie Eid, whose son is diagnosed with DMD, said: “The Walk symbolises the long and tough journey that families have to endure when they have a child with Duchenne. It also represents our solidarity with those kids that can no longer walk or are no longer with us today.”
