Myotubular (centronuclear) myopathy is a rare genetic muscle condition affecting mostly boys from birth. It causes profound muscle weakness, dangerously affecting the muscles that control breathing & swallowing. We fund research but also raise awareness & we support affected families and patients.

Story

Each year since 2008, different groups of supporters have taken part in the sponsored Myotubular Trust Hope Walks. We all walk with the same hope in mind....raising research funds to find a cure or treatment for myotubular and centronuclear myopathy.

Myotubular (centronuclear) myopathy is a rare and devastating muscle weakness, affecting mainly boys, from birth. It severely affects the muscles used to swallow and breathe. These babies & children are at a constant risk of dying, and usually from complications due to simple colds and coughs from which they are literally too weak to recover.

There is no public funding available to Myotubular Trust for this rare condition - the research that has been funded is all thanks to the support of those living with the condition, and their families, friends and colleagues. We simply wouldn't be able to continue to fund world-class research projects without our supporters.

Thank you for supporting us and helping us in our journey to bring forward the day when there is a cure or treatment available for everybody living with this condition.
