This December is one of the most impactful fundraising opportunities of the year,
'The Big Give Christmas Challenge'.
For just one week, every donation made to Harrison’s Fund will be doubled, meaning your generosity goes twice as far in supporting families navigating a Duchenne diagnosis.
When does it happen?
Midday 2nd December → Midday 9th December. Goal: £4,900 raised from our community. Matched pound-for-pound to become £9,800
It’s a short window, just seven days, but the difference it can make is huge.

Why The Big Give Challenge Matters So Much
For families facing Duchenne, life can be overwhelming. Our Chrysalis Grants provide essential psychological support, therapy, tools for daily living, and emotional relief when families need it most.
These grants help parents breathe again, help siblings feel seen, and help young patients navigate some of the hardest moments of their childhood.
But we can only provide this support because people like you believe in our mission.
The Big Give is our chance to transform a week of giving into a year of impact. Every pound raised helps us reach more families, offer more sessions, step into more hospital neuromuscular departments, and close the mental-health gap so many are falling through.
What Your Doubled Donation Achieves
Your gift, however big or small, could:
Fund specialist therapy sessions for newly diagnosed families
Support mental-health interventions throughout a child’s Duchenne journey
Provide emotional and practical guidance during moments of crisis
Help parents like Maxine feel less alone, and more supported
Allow us to expand Project Chrysalis into more hospitals across the UK
With match funding, £25 becomes £50, £50 becomes £100, and £100 becomes £200, for children and families who urgently need support.
How You Can Help

Let’s make this our strongest Big Give yet. Let’s do it for every family waiting for support. Let’s do it for the mostly boys who inspire us every day.
