Help Us Spread the Word!
If you’re a healthcare professional, patient advocate, or part of the neuromuscular community, we encourage you to share this opportunity with individuals and families affected by Becker muscular dystrophy. Your outreach could help someone access vital information, support, and community
If you are living with BMD, or are a parent or carer of someone with BMD, and can travel to either Newcastle or Malaga, we invite you to register your interest. Please note that no travel should be booked until your place has been confirmed and you have received the travel policy.

– For patients aged 14–17, registration must be completed by a parent or guardian.
