Chasing Connor's Cure

09/05/2026

Team Connor have done it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Over the last 24 hours, our incredible riders have completed the Duchenne Dash from London to Paris — a gruelling, relentless, brutal and emotional challenge that has tested every single one of them physically and mentally.🇬🇧🚴🏻🇫🇷

Through the heat, exhaustion, pain and sheer intensity of the ride, they kept going.

Some are broken.
Some are emotional.
Some are a little wobbly.

But every single one of them should feel immensely proud, because they have achieved something truly extraordinary.🥰🥰🥰

Not only have they completed one of the toughest endurance challenges imaginable, but together they have raised an absolutely incredible amount of money for Chasing Connor’s Cure and the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

A very special thank you must once again go to Barry and his team. Quite simply, this would not have been achievable without your support, commitment and belief in what we are doing. We are endlessly grateful.

Right now, we are still trying to process the scale of what has been achieved over the last 24 hours. More updates, photos and reflections will follow once we have all come back down to earth a little and found our feet again.

For now, thank you — from the bottom of our hearts — to every rider, supporter, sponsor, donor and person who has stood behind Team Connor.

You have all helped make something very special happen.

💙

Tomorrow, we ride for something much bigger than ourselves. The Duchenne Dash. Another year for Team Connor to support this awesome event.

This year’s Dash is especially meaningful — this is the first in a series of posts recognising what makes it so special.

This year Team Connor is 28 strong — a group brought together by hope, determination, and one very special man, Barry Kennedy.

Connor’s Dad first met Barry over six years ago at a charity golf day. Within minutes, it was clear he genuinely cared — not just about Connor, but about the mission to end Duchenne. And since that day, he’s never stood still.

In 2021, when the Duchenne Dash to Paris couldn’t happen, Barry didn’t accept it. He created something of his own — rallying his incredible family, colleagues, and network to deliver an alternative that raised an unbelievable £215,000. It was nothing short of extraordinary.

Most would take a step back after that. Barry? He’s come back stronger — bringing with him another powerful team, united by purpose.

So tomorrow, we set off to Paris. For some, it’s their 10th ride. For all of us, it’s deeply personal.

Every mile we ride is powered by the people around us — those who’ve donated, sponsored our shirts, organised events, and shared our story. Every single act of support matters more than you know. No donation is ever too small.

The Duchenne Dash isn’t just a ride. It’s hope. It’s belief. It’s the drive to one day find a cure for this devastating disease.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us — and especially to Barry, for bringing this incredible team together and inspiring us all.
