making muscle wasting history

I have worked for Action Duchenne for nearly 2 years now and in that time I have seen clinical trials become an exciting reality. I have every belief we are getting there, I also have every belief that everybody can make a difference in when that happens. We have all heard clinicians talk about research and how we are entering exciting times, together we can make these exciting times now for everyone living with Duchenne. These are my top tips on fundraising....
1) Decide what you want to do... funday, fashion show, sponsored run, sponsored swim, stand at school fete, dinner dance, collection at supermarket or football club, contact your place of work and see if they will support us...
2) Big or small everybody can do something. Contact your Regional Advocate – Esther – NW, Mel – NE & Yorkshire & Humberside, Dean – Scotland & N Ireland, Pauline – Midlands & Wales, Oshrit – London & Eastern & Natalie – South East & South West. (e-mail firstname@actionduchenne.org)
3) Set a plan for your event, book a venue, get sponsorship forms, order merchandise from your Regional Advocate.
4) Contact local papers (your Advocate will do this if you are not comfortable to) & contact local Council if necessary for event.
5) Ask friends & family to help with volunteering on the day.
6) Collect lots of money and send to Action Duchenne, let us know who we need to send certificates to and who we need to thank.
7) Start planning your next event...
It really is this simple and believe me I have heard from so many people it will give you and your family strength in knowing you are making a difference. Let’s make this happen now for this generation of boys. For more info or advice please contact me or your Regional Advocate – Can’t wait to hear everybodies successful fundraising stories.
