Quotes

The charity’s CEO Michael McGrath said, "In terms of outcomes, I want our charity’s engagement with the 2012 Games to be utterly inspirational and truly enriching for our Muscle Dream beneficiaries but also act as a platform to raise further awareness about Muscular Dystrophy, an unforgiving muscle wasting disease that relentlessly continues to destroy lives and families. I’m especially keen to focus on making sure that with 100 days to go to the start of the Paralympics, each one of our recipients from across the UK gets the opportunity to witness the power of disability sport, so much so that they themselves become ‘champions of inspiration’ in sharing what they’ve seen with their families, their schools and their local communities."
