Scientists like Prof Dame Kay Davies have dedicated their lives to research into potential treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy.

You can make a real difference by helping fund the next generation of scientists with a gift in your Will. Together, we can finish what we've started so children born in the years to come can live free from the limitations of muscular dystrophy.

Watch Prof Davies explain what we’ve achieved so far and why funding research with a Gift in your Will is so important. >> https://bit.ly/3uIip8j
