The hundreds of children, young people and adults living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) face many challenges, which have been exacerbated by COVID-19 and lock down.
At a time when it is simply not safe or possible to meet Father Christmas in person, we have arranged for the Big Man himself to speak directly to each family, along with a Festive Show full of sparkles and fun! Through the magic of Zoom, Father Christmas and his Elves will bring a wonderful festive experience to families, free of charge.
Supported by Pears Foundation, Contact and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, we are proud to bring the magic of Christmas, a glimmer of hope and sense of normality to these children, young people and families across the UK.
Florence, our Chief Elf and National Director, said;
Nothing compares to the excitement in a child’s face when they see Father Christmas and experience the magic of Christmas and I am delighted to offer this to so many of our brave families.
