Launching on Giving Tuesday, 2 December, we are taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge — and we need your help to raise £20,000 in just one week!

Thanks to match funding from our amazing corporate partner Rabobank, every pound you give will be doubled, meaning your donation will go twice as far in helping us build something truly transformative, Duchenne UK Connect – our new digital platform for the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) community.

When your child is diagnosed with DMD, it can feel like you’re plunged into a dark and lonely place. You’re suddenly navigating a rare and complex condition.

That’s why we’re building Duchenne UK Connect — a new digital platform designed to empower families through connection. It will bring together vital information, clinical trial opportunities, and a supportive community — all in one place.

Because when you’re living with a rare reality, the gift of connection is precious.

By donating during the Big Give Christmas Challenge, your gift will be matched pound for pound — doubling your impact.

• £25 becomes £50 – helping a newly diagnosed family find answers and support
• £50 becomes £100 – connecting more people to clinical trials and crucial information about care
• £100 becomes £200 – building a stronger and more connected Duchenne community

We’re calling on everyone to share this appeal and help us reach our goal! Together, we can build a future where no one faces DMD alone.

Let’s make connection the most powerful gift we give this Christmas!
