Donating in memory of a loved one is a meaningful way to celebrate their life while helping people living with muscle wasting conditions.
Whether you make a donation, create a tribute page, or collect donations at a funeral, your support will fund vital research and life-changing support for families across the UK.
We’re truly honoured to receive your gift.
Honour a loved one by donating in memory. Your gift supports our vital work and honours their life.
Honour the memory of those we’ve lost but who are forever part of our community. Share a message, story or photo to celebrate their life.
Instead of flowers, choose to donate in memory of a loved one to a cause close to their heart.
A Remembrance Tribute is a special online space where you can invite friends and family to share treasured memories, photos and messages for your loved one. You can even light virtual candles to remember their birthday and other special days.
If you choose to, you can use the space to collect donations for Muscular Dystrophy UK. You can also set up fundraising events and sponsored activities in memory of your loved one and see how much they raised.
