What We Do
Mac My Day works to improve the lives of people affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy by supporting research, raising understanding, working with experts, and building community.
Funding Research
Advancing understanding and treatment of Duchenne takes time and sustained research. Mac My Day helps fund work that improves knowledge of the condition and supports the development of better treatments. We prioritise research that is credible, collaborative, and focused on improving outcomes.
Raising Awareness
Understanding Duchenne muscular dystrophy matters. Mac My Day helps raise awareness of the condition through clear communication, events, and engagement. Better awareness supports earlier recognition, more informed conversations, and stronger support for those affected.
Working with Experts
Good decisions are shaped by expertise and experience. Mac My Day works with medical and research experts to help inform how we support work with Duchenne.
By listening, learning, and staying closely connected to those working in the field, we aim to support thoughtful, evidence-based approaches that benefit those affected.
Building Community
Life with Duchenne is about more than appointments and treatments. Mac My Day brings people together through shared experiences that support wellbeing, connection, and confidence. Our events and activities are about living fully in the present, creating positive memories, and strengthening a sense of community alongside the wider work of the charity.
How We Allocate Funds
Funds raised by Mac My Day are directed with care and purpose. Decisions are guided by the charity’s aims, informed by expert insight, and overseen by trustees to ensure resources are used responsibly and for clear public benefit.
