Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK) is calling for everyone in Cardiff to take part in its Go Bright fundraising initiative on 3 February 2023 to support those in Wales who have a muscle-wasting condition as well as family, friends and colleagues who might be affected. This initiative aims to shine a light on muscle-wasting conditions and raise much needed awareness and funds to support vital research to help fight muscular dystrophy.
The fundraising day, now in its sixth year is challenging schools, employers and everyone in between to wear their boldest, brightest colours on the day. Get people to sponsor you while you dress in vivid colours that the 80s would be shocked at and engage with the fundraising pack materials to maximise how much you can fundraise.
Whether it’s swapping your school uniform to wear one bright thing, dressing to the nines with your work colleagues, on video calls or simply strutting your stuff with friends and family at your local club or community centre – we need you!
Phil Heighway Regional Development Manager Said : “We rely on the generosity of our supporters, local businesses, and communities to get behind Go Bright. Collectively the day has so far raised nearly £160k and helped to fund essential research and support work – we really couldn’t do it without the community behind us. So, we are calling on people to get behind Go Bright 2023 and please dig deep – a huge thank you in advance.”
