Miles for Muscles (and raising awareness!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miles is a loveable lion who became our Mascot. Originally handmade by Sian in 2015 as a symbol of strength for families affected by Myotonic Dystrophy. Sian was instrumental in the ‘birth’ of CureDM, and continues to be a great supporter and friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miles has become a well-loved part of the CureDM family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CureDM are delighted to support the UK CDM community by gifting his cubs.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2020, CureDM began sending\u00a0cubs out\u00a0to children in our community, a campaign we intend to continue with on an ongoing basis. Names are pulled out of a ballot, and as the cubs are ‘born’ they are sent to their new homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This campaign is funded by our amazing supporters, we cannot do this without the ongoing fundraising and support we receive. If you would like to donate to this campaign, please click the button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MILES CUBS – FAQ<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Please read the following, and contact us to be added to the ballot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW CAN MY CHILD RECEIVE A MILES CUB? – <\/strong>Miles cubs will only be sent to children with CDM or early childhood onset DM. Please email curedm@outlook.com for more details and to be added to the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW IS A CHILD CHOSEN FOR A CUB? – <\/strong>To make it fair for all, children will receive a cub by having their name chosen out of a ballot. We can\u2019t say who will be chosen when \u2013 it is the luck of the draw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE WILL YOU SEND MILES CUBS? – <\/strong>This is a UK only campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW LONG WILL IT BE UNTIL I GET A CUB? – <\/strong>Miles cubs are born throughout the year. We can not guarantee a timescale \u2013 this is an ongoing campaign from CureDM and is reliant on the support the charity receives. We aim for as many children as possible to receive one at some point<\/strong>\u2013 but we can not give any promised<\/strong> timescales<\/strong>. Miles cubs are handmade with love and care, each one is individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAN I BUY A MILES CUB? – <\/strong>No, sorry, Miles cubs are not for sale. We are gifting them to the children in a fair way and cannot accept payments for them. You cannot buy our CureDM UK Miles cubs, they are only produced by us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAN I DONATE TO THE MILES CUB FUND? – <\/strong>You can of course donate to Cure DM, and in particular to be saved for this campaign \u2013 please do so via the button above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note, giving a donation will not move you up the list in any way, as the ballot is completely random. However, all donations are greatly appreciated to help CureDM continue to provide support, facilitate research, and raise awareness of Myotonic Dystrophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IS MY CHILD ON THE LIST? – <\/strong>If you are unsure if your childs name is in the Ballot \u2013 please email curedm@outlook.com<\/a> and we will be happy to check for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
