Muscles. We use them to move. Walk, eat, smile, cry. Pump blood around our bodies. To breathe in and out. Our muscles matter.

Living with a muscle wasting and weakening condition can be exhausting, stressful and lonely. With endless medical appointments, physiotherapy, treatments and respiratory support.

That’s why, for over 60 years, we’ve been building our community. Muscular Dystrophy UK are the leading charity for over 60 muscle wasting and weakening conditions. Connecting more than 110,000 people affected, and those around us.

• We share expert advice and support to live well now.

• We fund groundbreaking research to understand the different conditions better and to lead us to new treatments.

• We work with the NHS towards universal access to specialist healthcare.

• Together, we campaign for people’s rights, better understanding, accessibility, and access to treatments.
