MD Awareness Week 2009 runs from 19th to 25th September. Awareness of MD and its effects is low in the UK and we offer support to any individual or organisation wanting to take part during the week or at any other time during the year. We have places in the Manchester 5K Run on 11th October this year to support people who have MD. The spirit of the event is 'taking part' not 'winning' so you can run, jog or walk - you decide!
