The charity’s co-founder and Chief Muscle Warrior (CEO) Michael McGrath will lead off the 1K Wheelchair Circuit and the 1K Superhero Fancy Dress Toddle in his hi-tech ‘chariot’, sporting the sought-after Muscle Warrior t-shirt (pictured below).
While the serious runners are running around the Haileybury course, youngsters accompanied by mums, dads, grannies and granddads, uncles and aunties will be toddling, wheeling or in Michael’s case ‘powering’ around the 1K wheelchair course, taking in the beautiful sights of Haileybury including the spectacular quad, the largest academic quadrangle in the UK.

About Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
Muscular Dystrophy is the single biggest genetic killer of children in our world today. With some 75,000 UK sufferers being robbed of their mobility, independence and finally, for those with the most severe form known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), their lives. The charity delivers experiences for people directly affected by this debilitating disease.
About Muscle Warriors
Muscle Warriors are those generous-hearted people who use for example the power of sport to engage, inspire and raise vital funds – Muscle Warriors run across deserts, they sprint along race tracks, do triathlons and ironman’s as well as events called GRIM; they climb mountains and participate in endurance activities to enable Muscle Dreams to happen. They reinforce the robust link between muscles, movement and sport.
About Muscle Dreams
Muscle Dreams are amazing experiences in the UK designed to help children and young people whose lives are afflicted by the muscle-wasting disease, muscular dystrophy (MD), the opportunity to live a dream, or perhaps fulfil a cherished ambition. Muscle Dreams can cost anywhere between £500 to for example £5000 – whilst the charity will do its utmost at all times, it is unable to fund every Muscle Dream nomination received.

**Important Note for Journalists / Editors**
The charity works very hard to avoid language such as ‘grant wishes’ or ‘realise dreams’ or ‘fulfil special days’, which is very much in keeping with the approach of some other well-known charities. The Muscle Help Foundation delivers Muscle Dreams – we would be grateful if editors would ensure that this is communicated in this manner – thank you.
