The Muscle Help Foundation and its patron, Lorraine Kelly, call on supporters to donate in the UK’s biggest public fundraiser, the ‘Big Give Christmas Challenge’
Funds raised will help this small multi award-winning charity continue its vital work supporting families living with muscular dystrophy
The Muscle Help Foundation (MHF), a charity that delivers unique wish-fulfilment opportunities (called Muscle Dreams) for vulnerable children, young people and adults (8-35yrs) living with Muscular Dystrophy across the UK, is one of 1,589 charities that will benefit from this year’s 2025 Big Give’s Christmas Challenge, the UK’s largest public fundraiser.
The week-long campaign, running from midday on Tues 2nd December to midday on Tues 9th December, will see every public donation made to MHF through the campaign DOUBLED, thanks to millions in match funding provided by Big Give’s generous “Champions” and participating charities’ pledgers.
The charity is calling on its stakeholders to spread the Big Give love in encouraging as many people as possible to donate to help raise vital funds to help it continue its important work. To double your donation and make double the difference this Christmas, go to: Delivering Muscle Dreams for Life Changing Impact – Big Give.
Lorraine Kelly, Patron of the Muscle Help Foundation, said:
“Big Give’s Christmas Challenge is such an effective way to drive donations. Any donations that people make to the charity that I support, the Muscle Help Foundation, and the hundreds of other charities taking part, can be matched, and the on-the-ground impact will be doubled. This will make a huge difference in helping us deliver life-changing support for young people living with muscular dystrophy.”
MHFs CEO, Michael McGrath MBE says:
“The Muscle Help Foundation exists to make a tangible and lasting difference to the lives of children, young people and adults (8-35yrs) living across the UK with Muscular Dystrophy. It’s an extremely challenging time for all charities right now which is why campaigns like The Big Give are a lifeline. Donations across the week of this Big Give Christmas Challenge will help support our continued work. In changing more lives and giving hope, please double your impact by donating today. It really will make a Big difference.
“Donations to our small charity will go twice as far at no extra cost to you. From now until midday next Tues 9th Dec, every single donation made in support of our Big Give Christmas Challenge appeal will be DOUBLED.
“This is the first year that our small charity has been part of the Big Give. With your support, we’re hoping to raise £36,000 which will help deliver many more smiles for young Muscle Warriors like David (pictured) who benefited from one of our wish-fulfilment experiences. Watch HERE to be inspired by David’s story. This is how your gift can change lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
