  • Just Diagnosed: Families Share Their Stories
    Muscular Dystrophy UK’s lifestyle magazine Issue 1 of 2015 Target MD Just diagnosed: families share their stories Updates on #Translarna Fundraising successes for #TeamOrange From the Chief Executive p3 Muscular Dystrophy UK Renewing our commitment to beat muscle-wasting conditions You’ll have seen that in late February, we changed our name to Muscular Dystrophy UK. There are more than 70,000 people living with a muscle-wasting condition in the UK. These individuals, and their families, are at the very heart of the work we do every day. Since our charity was established in 1959, we have seen some major progress in the quality and length of life for people living with muscle- wasting conditions. But we know this is not enough. We need to accelerate the work we do to find treatments and cures, campaign for more specialist care and offer vital information and support to enable independence. We have been listening to our supporters and have found that often people don’t realise our work extends beyond campaigning. We invest in vital research and we support families through every stage of living with a muscle- wasting condition, from the very moment of diagnosis. It is important to us that everyone affected by a muscle-wasting condition knows they have our support and backing. This hugely significant step to change our name reflects our long-term commitment and determination to beat muscle-wasting conditions, by drawing together all those in this country who share our vision and our goals. Please visit our new website which reflects the changes in our brand www.musculardystrophyuk.org We know that together we are stronger.
