ITV will be screening a 2 and ½ minute film clip about each of the 5 shortlisted charities after the evening news on ITV (Anglia West region), week commencing Mon 29th Feb.
The film clip about the Muscle Help Foundation, its work and its growing tribe of Muscle Warriors across the nation will be broadcast on the early evening news between 6pm and 6.30pm on FRIDAY 4th MARCH.
The public will be encouraged to vote for the charity they think most deserves to receive the £50,000. Voting closes on 13th March. You can vote for us online anytime from 09.00am on Monday 29th Feb through until midday on Sunday 13th March.
| MHF’s CEO Michael McGrath said: “Never mind the ‘X Factor’ or ‘I’m a Celebrity’, the ‘MHF Factor’ is where it’s at! We started this process in September last year with one aim, to win! Six months on and having been shortlisted, we now need the public to come out and vote for us. Never doubt that a tribe can change the world! If you are one of our past Muscle Dream beneficiaries, perhaps a family that has been touched by our work or maybe you’re one of our Muscle Warrior donors, partners or volunteers, your vote matters! And if we win, it will bring our charity a little closer to our goal of delivering 657 Muscle Dreams, that’s one life-changing experience for every muscle in the human body. That’s the power of our promise. That’s the #powerof657,” said McGrath. |
