    Make Every Birthday Count

    This summer we would like to invite you and all of our supporters to help us celebrate the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign’s birthday and help us make every birthday count.

    Over our birthday weekend, 6 – 8 July, we are calling on supporters to host a party. You can organise a themed party, afternoon tea party or simply a birthday party with all funds raised being used to fund our Scentists of the Future programme which will offer young scientists the opportunity to obtain the specialist training in muscle wasting disease needed to ensure progress toward effective treatments and cures.

    We would love to here your ideas so please do share with us here your thoughts on how we can celebrate our birthday.

    Cycling from Manchester to Blackpool will be the ‘Riding for Willow’ team of eight led by Mark Ollerenshaw whose one-year old daughter, Willow, has congenital muscular dystrophy.

    Our North Manchester Fundraising Group have a busy weekend with a Race Night being held on Friday 6 July at Newton Social Club near Rochdale, a collection at Manchester Victoria train station and a BBQ party both on Saturday 7 July.

    Thanks to Allison Carruthers, Mosslands School in Wallasey are holding a cake sale and the Witton Wanders Fundraising Committee will be holding a collection at Blackburn Shopping Mall.

    A team of 31 brave souls will be taking part in a zip slide from Newcastle’s Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts. The slide starts 40 meters up, from the roof of the centre, and travels 280 meters diagonally across the River Tyne before finishing on the Newcastle quayside.

    The Selby Fundraising Group will be holding a car wash at their local Tesco; the Beverly Fundraising Committee are busy baking cakes and organising a fun day as are supporters Abbie Walker from County Durham and Leo’s Nursery School in Nottingham.
