Muscles For Muscles
1 - 10 May 2025
Rally up your squat squad and join in completing the Muscles For Muscles 10 day Squat Challenge and help build your muscles for those who can’t – in honour of the million people living with FSHD muscular dystrophy worldwide.
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a highly complex and progressive muscle wasting disease causing weakening and loss of skeletal muscles. FSHD is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy in adults and children.
People with FSHD live with no known cure and few treatments currently available. As a genetic disease, FSHD affects people of all ages, religion, sex and body type. It does not discriminate, and neither does this campaign!
Our Aim
Our aim is to raise $50,000 to help fast track treatments to our FSHD community.
