Summer is here at last! And with it comes our brand new Myelopathy.org Summer Fundraiser. Throughout July and August, we will be working with our amazing DCM community to boost awareness of this important condition, raise funds so we can continue to support you, and most importantly have fun!
Looking to our DCM Champions!
For the first time in Myelopathy.org history, we are looking to launch a campaign that puts the DCM community right at the heart of our fundraising activities! We are looking to anyone and everyone in our community to get involved. Whether you are someone with DCM, a friend or family member, or one of our dedicated researchers, we want you to get out there and get fundraising!
In particular, we want to hear from those of you currently living with DCM. We believe that, through highlighting each of your individual journeys with DCM – the challenges and the stories of hope – we can get the word out there about how it can impact our lives and inspire people to give what they can. And this is the crux of our fundraiser; our DCM community sharing their inspiring stories, via social media, to raise both funds and awareness of this condition.
For everyone else, there is so much you can be doing! Depending on what you’re able to, you could participate in a charity bake sale, a sponsored fun run, or get your friends together for an evening of bingo. Get your creative juices flowing!
Our DCM Fundraising Goal
Over the next two months, we have set ourselves the goal of raising £20,000, all through your hard work and collaboration – no small feat! And, as a team of volunteers, we pledge to invest every penny we raise back into our community, so we can continue our support far into the future.
This money is essential to carrying out our work in the DCM community. Whether it be through our ongoing ventures in the research community, boosting awareness of DCM amongst physicians and the general public, or continuing our one-of-a-kind support group, fundraising is key to our success!
