FUNDRAISING
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in everyone’s lives changing
drastically, which is needed to keep us all safe. We as the Foundation have
come to a decision that, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
resulting financial hardship, MDF will not be taking part in the Discovery 947
Ride Joburg in 2020.
As a result, all MDF branches (National, Gauteng, Cape Town and KZN)
have designed a new campaign that cyclists and runners can join in together
in 2020 to support MDF while keeping themselves and their loved ones safe.
A new national online campaign has thus begun called “MOVE4MD”.
We would like to request that as a cyclist or runner you consider making
MDFSA a part of your regular or daily exercise routines.
You can run/cycle privately as you always do and track your progress through
the free Strava app or through Fitbit, etc. Take a picture/screenshot of your
progress and we will post it on Facebook and Instagram so that others can
make donations and become aware of MD as a result of your efforts.
Move4MD
Muscular dystrophy and neuromuscular disorders are a cause
close to all our hearts and could affect anyone of us. The more
awareness we can create, the more chance we have to find a cure for
this dreaded disease.
As a volunteer organisation we rely on the support and goodwill of
donors to assist us and greatly appreciate your care and concern for
those affected by muscular dystrophy.
Send your progress once a week to mdfgauteng@mdsa.org.za and we will post your feedback on our social media
accounts.
There are no joining fees or any costs whatsoever to take part.
Social distancing will be around for a long time to come, and this is the easiest way to continue your loyal support
while staying committed to flattening the curve!
