Raising money for

The Muscular Help Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1096716

MHF is a small charity with a razor-sharp focus – we deliver unforgettable Muscle Dreams designed to help children and young people in the UK whose lives are afflicted by the muscle wasting disease muscular dystrophy (MD), the opportunity to live a dream, or perhaps fulfil a cherished ambition. MD is the single biggest genetic killer of children in our world today. It is a relentless and unforgiving disease. With some 60,000 UK sufferers being robbed of their mobility, independence and finally for those with the most severe type, mainly children, their lives – MHF is in the business of delivering experiences for people directly affected by this debilitating disease. Muscles bind us together universally – they are the engine that our bodies use to turn energy into motion. They allow us to simply move – work with us to leverage your organisations employee, brand and financial muscle, and help MHF deliver more Muscle Dreams.
