| Organiser's notes: | The annual Valentines Love Run will take place this year in London,Newcastle and Cardiff. The race will be timed using champion chip timing. The event is organised by the charity Parent Project UK. PPUK is commited to raising awarness and funds for research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. DMD is a genetic and severe muscle wasting disease for which there is no cure. Two boys every week are born with this disease in the UK. Boys with DMD are usually unable to walk by age 12 and without treatment will die in their late teens, early twenties. Parent Project UK aims to lobby the UK Government so they recognise the need for real long term investment in DMD research. PPUK is also committed to raising money for new genetic research in the UK to find treatments or a cure. Clinical trials are now taking place that if sucessful will provide a viable treatment for the disease but if the boys are to recieve the treatment more funds will be needed. All your registration fee will go to the Charity and we will ask you to raise as much as you can by getting sponsorship for taking part in the event. Your sponsorship will make a real difference to the thousands of boys living in the UK with DMD. If you sign up you will have a great day for a great cause.
