What your money funds
The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign has pioneered the search for treatments and cures for 50 years. We are dedicated to improving the lives of all children and adults affected by muscle disease.
We rely almost entirely on voluntary donations. The money you raise helps us to continue our vital work:
- providing free practical and emotional support
- funding world-class research to find effective treatments and cures
- campaigning to raise awareness and bring about change
-
awarding grants towards the cost of specialist equipment, such as powered wheelchairs
