the Develop range of multifunctional
document imaging systems, is
sponsoring a team of former and
current rugby players brought
together by UK based charity Joining
Jack to enter the L’Etape du Tour,
one of amateur cycling’s toughest
challenges. The seven strong Joining
Jack Cycle Team is participating in
the event to raise awareness about a
condition known as DuchenneMuscular
Dystrophy (DMD), a presently incurable
muscle wasting disease that affects
one in 3,500 boys.
It is a cause close to the heart of every
member of the Joining Jack team, as Jack
the five year old son of team captain, Andy
Johnson, was diagnosed with the condition
in 2011. Former Wigan Warriors player Andy
and his wife Alex established Joining Jack in
May 2012 to raise awareness and fund vital
research into this rare genetic condition.

Sir Bradley Wiggins supports (UK) Joining Jack Cycle Team
Team will wear a specially designed jersey
and shorts with the DSales, Develop and
other sponsor logos.
Current Tour de France champion Sir
Bradley Wiggins has supported the Joining
Jack charity since it was established last year.
He is now lending his support to the riders
and knows exactly what lies ahead for the
team. “I am really proud to support Joining
Jack and have been to a couple of their other
fund raisers. L’Etape du Tour is such a big
part of amateur cycling it felt like a natural
way for me to really get behind a fundraising
initiative. I think it will be a tough challenge
but we’ll be lending lots of support over the
next few months and it’s a great way to raise
money and awareness for this incredibly
important cause”
For DSales (UK) Jonathan Whitworth,
Managing Director stated, “Having become
aware of ‘Joining Jack’ at a golf fund raiser,
I could not imagine a more worthy cause
for our company to support. Jack’s plight
and that of other children with this crippling
condition, could not fail to move the hardest
of hearts. As a family man myself with young
children, I can fully sympathise with Jack’s
parents and their efforts to find a cure. I wish
Andy and the team taking part in the L’Etape
all the best.”
