Through Our Eyes: Why We’re Supporting Muscular Dystrophy UK

When we step on stage at TEDxMiltonKeynesYouth 2025, we’ll be sharing a story very close to our hearts — a story about how we see the world through the eyes of being part of a family touched by disability.

We are Eva and Amaira, 11-year-old twins with a big dream: to help make the world more inclusive, more understanding, and more supportive of people living with disabilities. Our talk, "Through Our Eyes: Rethinking Disability", is about challenging stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and showing that difference doesn’t mean less — it means unique, valuable, and strong.

But our mission doesn’t end with words on stage. We want to turn this moment into action. That’s why we’re launching a fundraising campaign for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

Why Muscular Dystrophy UK?

Muscular dystrophy is a group of rare, life-limiting conditions that cause muscles to weaken over time. They can affect children and adults, and right now, there is no cure.

Muscular Dystrophy UK is a charity that supports individuals and families living with these conditions, funds groundbreaking research, and campaigns for better care and accessibility. They help people live their lives to the fullest — and they give hope for the future.

For us, raising money for them is personal. We’ve seen first-hand how challenging life can be when your body doesn’t always do what you want it to. We know the difference that understanding, support, and innovation can make. And we want to be part of the change.

All donations and support are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
