Muscular Dystrophy Campaign

The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign is the only UK charity focusing on muscle diseases. It has pioneered the search for a cure and treatments for muscle diseases for over 47 years and continues to provide practical care and emotional support to people affected by the condition. It is still campaigning for increased Government spending on medical research.

More than 30,000 people in the UK have muscle disease and 150,000 people are indirectly affected as carers and relatives. There are no cures or treatments which prevent the breakdown of muscle, but increased knowledge has improved the quality of people's lives and - in many cases - length of life.
