9yrs and counting! MHF’s signature Porsche Muscle Dream Programme sees eight young petrol-heads burn rubber at Silverstone!


Posted on September 27th, 2019

Now in its 9th year, the charity’s 2019 signature Porsche Muscle Dreams Programme saw another eight petrol-heads from across the UK with different types of muscular dystrophy relish another awesome experiential event at Silverstone, one of the most the iconic Grands Prix circuits in the world and the home of British Motorsport.

Feedback from those who have watched this year’s ‘LIGHT-IT-UP’ film below suggests it’s the best one ever! We totally agree! It’s a pretty special shared experience, so be sure you watch it below and ‘when’ (not ‘if’) you’re inspired, contact us and let’s have conversation to explore how you might like to get involved in supporting our #powerof657 mission going forwards. Or maybe you would like to witness the impact in 2020! It’s the BIG one… the 10th anniversary in partnership with the Porsche Experience Centre and Whittlebury Park.

“A massive Muscle Warrior thank you to you and all your team especially Milda. You are all very special people!!! Two weeks on from this awesome experience, I’d like to tell you that Lewis has found the confidence to go on his first school trip. This is a massive step forward for him and me. And it’s all down to you and that amazing Muscle Dream experience! Thank you for helping our family. Do not change – your charity is fabulous! Sending love and best wishes” – Lewis, Claire, Guy & Uncle John

“Just to say a massive thank you for the past 2 days – you have created some wonderful memories for us to cherish forever. It was a pleasure to meet your lovely team. What a fantastic bunch of people! Fantastic goody bags – you are all so special and we feel very privileged to know you. Much love” – Sam, Simon, Samuel, Rosie and Ollie

“Thank you so much for a wonderful day on Monday. I am thrilled that we could find the energy and determination to make it – you have clearly spent years perfecting the Porsche Muscle Dream programme which was mazing – it was so kind of you to include siblings in the experience. Jamie was almost speechless with excitement. Mel is beyond impressive as a supporter of the charity and the gifts that Matthew received were astonishingly generous and thoughtful. You really did make us all feel very special and I saw a glimpse here and there of the Matthew that I’d like to get back fully one day. Please find enclosed a donation of £65.70 from each of us and the cancelled check for travel expenses. We hope it contributes to another Muscle Dream” – The Newnham family
