For 'Dystonia Awareness Month' and 'Dystonia Around The World' seven amazing runners took part in the Virgin Money Giving London Marathon and the Virtual London Marathon.

On Sunday 3rd October, seven amazing runners took part in the Virgin Money Giving London Marathon and its sister event, the Virtual London Marathon.

After 889 days the London Marathon finally returned to the capital, the atmosphere was electric and there was a real buzz in the air. For the first time a virtual race was being held alongside the physical event, with a real emphasis being placed on #WeRunTogether! Everyone was running for a cause, for a target, but with the same goal and this united everyone. It was amazing to see!

From all over the world our runners from Team Dystonia UK took on the biggest marathon in the world! The training and dedication that each of our team took on to cross that finish line was a great accomplishment, fighting both the physical but mental barriers as well. Beating that mindset takes a lot strength and we are so lucky to have such great fundraising champions as part of #TeamDystoniaUK!

Collectively the team raised £1891 which will make such a big difference to our work. Join us in saying a massive thank you to Jen, Paul, Nick, Tiffany, Jane, Damian, Fran and Michael!
