The charity for muscle wasting conditions

Living with a muscle wasting and weakening condition can be exhausting, stressful and lonely. With endless medical appointments, physiotherapy, treatments and respiratory support. That’s why, for over 60 years, we’ve been building our community. Bringing you together with friends and family, scientists and supporters, staff and volunteers, healthcare professionals and partners.
