About the charity
:
The Muscular Help Foundation
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.

I’m off again, this time using my muscles to help those whose muscles are broken and wasting away – MY MISSION this year is to complete THREE MUSCLE CHALLENGE events ~ the Mazda London Triathlon, ExCel Centre in London on Sunday 10th August, the Mazda Blenheim Triathlon at Blenheim Palace on Sunday 8th June and finally, certainly not for the faint-hearted ... the GRIM 2008 Challenge, an extreme off-road adventure race over 8 miles of awesome terrain at Aldershot on Saturday 6th December
YOUR MISSION (should you choose to accept it) is to either help push the mercury off the scale by donating online today, and encouraging your colleagues and friends to do the same (I’m looking for sponsors who want to leverage this opportunity and help make a real difference) or perhaps join me! 
Every pound raised will go to my chosen charity The Muscular Help Foundation based near where I live in Hertfordshire, and specifically towards their Muscle Dreams programme, designed to help children and young people (in the UK) with muscular dystrophy the opportunity to live a dream, or perhaps fulfil a cherished ambition that someone simply cannot afford
Funds raised from this endeavour will go towards the fulfilment of one or more Muscle Dreams that cost from £250 to £5000 depending on what they are. Those who donate will be able to see how their support is used, whether it be for a child meeting a famous TV celebrity chef or the school run of a lifetime
Muscular dystrophy is a muscle wasting disease which remains the single biggest genetic killer of children in our world today. In the UK there are about 35,000 sufferers being robbed of their mobility, independence and finally for those with the most severe type, predominantly children, their lives
In helping my charity deliver more Muscle Dreams, please give as generously as you can. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. Its the most efficient way to sponsor me. My chosen charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you
The rather cool picture on this page will in time change to a triumphant Muscle Salute image – my charities visible symbol of hope, courage and inner strength, a symbol that reminds us of those whose lives are being destroyed each day by this cruel, and unforgiving muscle wasting disease. Sometimes it’s tough to ask for help, but right now yours will make a world of difference - thank you for your support
