What an amazing year our Fundraisers have had! Our supporters have shown outstanding dedication and have completed some amazing feats whilst raising vital funds and awareness!
Wheel Success!
Marie Fagan, from Dundee, raised more than £700 taking part in the 6 mile Dundee Cyclathon - and raised awareness of the Dystonia Society by doing it dressed as a clown! Excellent work Marie!
Rob Wiffen decided to raise money for the Dystonia Society because his brother is affected by the condition. He was incredibly proud to cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats raising more than £2,530 for the Dystonia Society. This year he plans to climb Kilimanjaro for the Society!
You can ride for the Dystonia Society in 2012!

Fitness and Fun-draising
The Society is very proud of the amazing lengths that our fundraisers go to to raise vital funds and awareness.
The Brady Family in Northern Ireland coerced friends and relations to join their team to take part in the Liniskea 10k (right) raising an incredible £1,200
Amy Sharples raised over £300 by taking part in the Great North Run. Amy will be taking part in the very challenging ‘Great Wall of China’ trek in April 2012. Another of our amazing fundraisers, Jane Thomas (pictured left) completed that challenge in 2011, raising an outstanding £5,000 on the way!
You can treck along the Great Wall of China too in 2012! Find out how...
As if his cycling escapades weren't enough of a challenge, Rob Wiffen will be climbing Kilimanjaro in 2012, following in the footsteps of Eleanor Chadwick and Annabel Evans (pictured), who both did the climb last year raising a whopping £2,080 to help support people living with dystonia.
You could climb Kilimanjaro too in 2012 - signing up is simple, climbing up is maybe not so simple...
