During the coronavirus lockdown, a variety of challenges to raise money for charity and in support of the NHS have been sweeping across social media. But the latest one to dominate the world of racing is the #doitforDan raw egg challenge.

The social media trend was started to raise vital funds for treatment for an eight-month-old baby called Dan from Ireland – who in December was diagnosed with a rare genetic neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 and Scoliosis.
