Playing in the Raffle helps MDUK be there for more children like Will.

Will Calvert was just three-and-a-half years old when he was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Will’s mum Caroline says,

It’s hard to put into words how everything changes after a diagnosis like Will’s. It just hits you like a hammer, and then you feel numb. MDUK has been there for us since the beginning. From advice on home adaptations, to information about Will’s condition, to updates on the current research. The support we receive is amazing and there are no words to explain how much hope it gives us.

Every entry in the raffle helps us fund pioneering research into treatments for muscle-wasting conditions and helps us continue to provide vital support services to improve the lives of individuals and families living with these conditions.
