Telling your story

Personal stories always make magazine features, fundraising packs or news articles much more compelling and show very powerfully the impact muscular dystrophy has on people’s lives. We campaign on a variety of issues, so the more information we have about your personal experiences; the better we are able to find stories that most clearly illustrate particular circumstances or problems.
