Muscular Dystrophy UK
We connect a community of over 110,000 people living with one of 60 muscle wasting and weakening conditions, and all the people around them.
Living with a muscle wasting and weakening condition can be exhausting, stressful and lonely. With endless medical appointments, physiotherapy, treatments and respiratory support.
We share expert advice so people can live well now; fund groundbreaking research to understand the different conditions better and to lead us to new treatments; work with the NHS towards universal access to specialist health, and together, campaign for people's rights.
Together we are stronger. Join us. Our #MusclesMatter.
