Don't miss this great opportunity to ask questions today, 1-2pm on the MDUK Facebook page,

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic Muscular Dystrophy UK has had to furlough some members of staff. This means that the team will not be able to monitor this account for a while. You can read more from our CEO about the impact that COVID-19 is having on MDUK here: musculardystrophyuk.org/blog/covid-19-…

As #London opens up, many clinically vulnerable people with muscle-wasting conditions like Carmela will still be shielding. So MDUK is asking you to #WalkWithCarmela in her virtual 8-bit London. Find out more >> walkwithcarmela.org

This week we launched #WalkWithCarmela and spoke with Carmela’s proud mum, Lucy, about how Carmela is getting on, what the campaign is about and how you can help! Text 'WALK' to 70140 to donate £3 and walk to work for those who can’t. Find out more >> walkwithcarmela.org
