Belgiovane, Condie, Murphy and Singleton are calling on the industry for support. They have a good friend who has a son living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). So to help raise money for DMD research, services and facilities, the four horsemen of the lycra apocalypse are taking part in Tour Duchenne 2014.

DMD is a neuromuscular disorder that results in progressive and irreversible muscle degeneration. It affects 1 in 3,500 boys and most don’t make it past the age of 20. There is no cure for DMD and it has a survival rate of 0%.

Along with 30 other riders, the boys are cycling 1200kms from Adelaide to Melbourne, March 22-29. Cycling for the kids who can’t.

They’d greatly appreciate support for this fantastic cause (and long ride) with a little cash. How much? Well, $100 is less than 10 cents per kilometre.

They think that’s a pretty fair trade (to know that they’ll be in a world of pain), but any amount would be welcomed. Of course, all donations are tax deductible.
