From April 10-12, Duane Allen will take on the 4x4x48 Challenge by running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours straight in honour of his son James and all Canadians living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Follow along as the miles add up, cheer him on, and consider making a donation to show your support. Every gift fuels research, advocacy, and hope for families across Canada. π
