About Us
The Muscular Help Foundation [MHF] is a focal point for accelerating the eradication of muscle disorders through education, promoting awareness and generating funds
With its entrepreneurial spirit, corporate mindset, fresh approach and focus, its Founders and Trustees have established a dynamic intellectual and resource network, rooted in the notion that finding cures for those with neuromuscular diseases including the muscle wasting disease muscular dystrophy is far beyond the scope of any one individual, organisation or research laboratory
One of MHF's core beliefs is that the surest route to the development of effective treatments and therapies for those with neuromuscular diseases is our real ability to inspire active participation by working collaboratively towards a common goal – real people, real actions, real outputs, not simply uplifting human and corporate consciousness, but working smart to make a difference
We want to work with like-minded individuals and organisations that share our vision and values – even if you don't know anyone affected with a neuromuscular disease, you are already connected with MHF through the simple act of using your eye muscles to read this sentence – it takes 10 muscles to smile, 12 to frown and just 1 to make that difference
Definition of Muscle
muscle n. 1. a tissue composed of bundles of elongated cells capable of contraction and relaxation to produce movement in an organ or part ~ from the Latin musculus, meaning little mouse, from the imagined resemblance of some muscles to mice, from Latin mus mouse
Collins Dictionary Of The English Language [First Published 1979]
On the 13th January 2004, MHF's Executive Director and Co-founder made history by becoming the only disabled person in the world to have reached both North and South Poles. Michael McGrath has muscular dystrophy. The project called pole2pole was the inaugural launch event for MHF – those involved with both expeditions used their muscles to save muscles. Less we forget, it is the journey that is more important than the final destination
"In exploring human potential, we are intrinsically connected by muscles that universally bind us together, muscles that give us the power to achieve, to engage, to perform, to unite. In business for example, employees represent the muscular framework, the life-blood that flows through the organisation, the muscles that bind it together – without them, organisations would cease to function" [Michael McGrath]
