They're usually making us laugh in *Here Come The Habibs* or *Fat Pizza*, but **Rob Shehadie** & **Tahir Bilgiç** are getting serious about an important issue.

The comedians, who are busy with their *Straight Outta Compo* show at the moment, and Season 2 of the Habibs, have recently taken part in the **Save Our Sons Walk** in Melbourne, to raise awareness about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Duchenne is a condition that affects 1 in 3,500 boys and has no cure. In rare cases, it can also affect girls.

Tahir and Rob joined singer **Johnny Ruffo** and hundreds of others in the final leg of the 300 km walk which has raised over $450,000 so far. The money will go to scientific research, clinical trials, medical equipment and specialised Duchenne nurses in children's hospitals around Australia.

**Save Our Sons** was started a few years ago by Elie and Nancy Eid after their 12-year-old son Emilio was diagnosed with Duchenne in 2006.

A gala event hosted by media personalities **Amanda Kellar** and **Brendan Jones** is being held in Melbourne tonight, aiming to raise an extra $800 thousand to reach their target of $1.2 million.
